    installing sparky insists installation is safe and correct, 3 others under rate the cable

    End of day I just want a safe installation that I can be confident of......which passes LABC, from my limited knowledge gleaned off forums and speaking to sparks, diversity is a dark art. It cannot be applied to a shower in your own words which is a single appliance but could be applied to a...

    installing sparky insists installation is safe and correct, 3 others under rate the cable

    Thank you Flanders 4th expert to think/state cable is under rated. The owner is the supervisor and yes they notify ELECSA. I think installer had best intentions and knew what to do re 10mm quote but is now trying to cover himself as things have gone wrong rather than hands up after all there is...

    The installer did offer to put a clamp meter on with all zones going but 2nd sparky said "that would only confirm what the manufacturer has rated the hob at" the cable is still under sized.

    So why are 3 sparks disputing the cable......Emailed Neff, they never responded! LABC just want a certificate from someone. How can you have electrical work done by a junior that could be unsafe and a cert promised by a supervisor that hasn't supervised. Is there a loophole here?

    Tbh we cook a lot which is why we purchased this expensive hob. We cook as does my son @ daughter in law to be who live with us. ELECSA tech said that he is 99.9 certain that the 40A breaker will protect the circuit but the cable is not sufficient for full power and I should be able to use...

    Herein is the problem it's up to the electrician to come up with the design. He says it's ok, 3 others say it's not. Why did he quote for a 10mm if it only needed a 6mm ..... also can you really apply diversity to a single appliance if you intend to cook a lot and use all the flex zones?

    installing sparky insists installation is safe and correct, 3 others under rate the cable

    The breaker is 40A and the supply is only for the hob. My thoughts exactly supply of services materials specified etc should be 10mm cable as quoted, also to future proof upgrading. Thing is they will never get a 10mm in that flex as 2 men pulled like hell to get the 6mm in alongside another...

    installing sparky insists installation is safe and correct, 3 others under rate the cable

    Hi all, I'm having a terrible time after having building work done. The electric cable to my new hob was quoted and agreed 10mm, it's a neff 10100w induction, 43 amps. The electrics were subbed by the builder. The junior electrician fitted a 6mm. Another electrician from the firm came to...
