Induction hob.

I would agree wise but is it a regulation?

It is wise
It is not a regulation

I've never seen someone with a negative reaction score. I feel a bit sorry for him
Write something sensible or at least funny @Bogart and we can maybe get you into positive territory

Attached is a photo of my setup. I have been asking questions on another forum but keep going around in circles. The hob has a combined load of some 15kw but limits itself to 11kw ie around 50 Amps. Yes diversity is a factor but there is a possibility that it could draw 50 amps and I think that is a lot of load to put on one of the CUs, hence my 3 phase query.
So how about I install a 3 phase RCBO coming from the Henley blocks and a 3 phase isolator near the hob?

i'd start by removing approx 16 unnecessary yellow stickers.

I will help you as a diyer with small like for like appliance swaps or adding a spur. Things like that.

But,
You are into the realms of designing a new circuit and dealing with 3 phase.

This is beyond DIY.

By the looks of it you’ve got 10 circuits spread over 3 boards?......(you could probably do the lot on one board realistically if you did some calculations) why not just re-jig them slightly and feed the hob from 1 new rcbo.....50a if you feel the need but I doubt you’ll need it.
But bare in mind it is notifiable work so you’ll need a spark in a scheme

" bear", "bare" is naked, just a push from the spelling gestapo.

as pirate will tell us, always bear to windward of the enemy. that way, when you set him on fire, it won't fry your sails.

Wise words......I’ll remember that next time I go buccaneering

once met a guy, said he was a pirate. i said "where's your buccaneers?". he replied " underneath my bukking hat"

 

[pirate]

Just a tiny point, but as a proper noun, maybe a capital "G", Tel?

i meant a guy. not a guy named Guy.

 

[pirate]

not guy, gestapo!

Gestapo should have a capital G. it's/was an organisation and as such deserves it. like Spetznaz or Messserschmit
