New Induction Hob

[simcfc73]

Hi,

I'm replacing an old electric oven with an induction hob. There's an existing cooker 45A cooker switch running on 6mm cable which they've wired up to a standard socket and a plug on the oven. My new hob is rated at 7.3kw and it states to use specific cables for heat safety.

I'm looking at swapping the socket for an outlet plate (under the counter) and then wiring up the hob with this...4.0mm² 3183TQ Butyl Flex Black

This look ok?

Appreciate any help or advice.

Hi - sorry to not answer you directly, but my advise is to call the Manufacturer’s tech support if you want to vary from their installation instructions.

sounds OK, just follow MI, as Wilko says. ( but if MI says to use 10mm cable for the circuit, use common sense to overrule).

What is the value of the MCB for this circuit?

Thanks for the replies.

Its on a 32A fuse on the board. It manual says the wire type (H05BB-F or H03V2V2-F) but struggling to find bits locally as I only need a metre

3183TQ is good to 85°C. It’s fine for that job.
4mm is ok for a 32A MCB

Crack on. No probs
