    Induction hob plus oven wiring - rating?

    Good thing I'm not a vegan..... I'd also imagine that the percentage of vegan electricians may be on the small side.

    Induction hob plus oven wiring - rating?

    Diversity covers a multitude of sins. I was thinking of a perfect storm like a Christmas dinner with a roasting turkey and four rings on the go on an induction hob. But as you say, that's probably overthinking things. Or alternatively setting the Miele oven on self-clean at the same time as...

    Induction hob plus oven wiring - rating?

    OK - I see the point about AC. Just not thinking since I build DC circuits in electronics and when I see red and black wires my head goes "pos and neg". So going back to the point of the thread 1. How do I know if this is 6mm or 10mm wiring? 10mm is fine. 2. If it's 6mm wiring, and given the...

    Ah, right. Thanks for that. I have people coming over so no time now. I'm just going on what I can see with a torch inside the insulator, which I can only get about an inch off the wall. It doesn't look like a flat T&E. There are 3 wires, all stranded PVC sheathed. OD of each is 5mm including...

    Are you reading this thread? It's stranded with a yellow/green PVC cover.

    Induction hob plus oven wiring - rating?

    OK - 2 points here. I've been designing and building tube amplifiers for 10 years and I can assure you they are complex designs and they all work. I said I was familiar with DIY electronics, tubes in my case. Not electrical house and appliance wiring and the associated regs. That's something...

    What's your point here - are you referring to me or what?

    Looks like it's stranded like the pos and neg, with green/yellow PVC sheath.

    It's a simple 1980s fuse box. 220x170mm. Space for 6 fuses and master on/off on RH. Cooker circuit has a 45A fuse. Isolator has an on/off switch and a red light. 150mm by 90mm

    Sounds like 6mm. Looking up Farnell specs, 6mm total OD is 4.85mm, rated 48A. Fuse is 45A That sounds close. 10mm is OD 6.3mm which is more than the 5mm I measured. Using Ohm's law, 230v at 48A is 11kW which is what's required in total. Looks borderline but not impossible. Earth is insulated...

    Induction hob plus oven wiring - rating?

    The cooker fuse for the existing circuit is 45A. Not sure if the cable is 6mm or 10mm. Can anyone give me a definitive answer based on the fact that the OD of each single wire is 5mm including PVC cover? What's that?

    Installing induction hob+electric oven...separate circuits or same?

    Just took a break to get other parts of the refit together. Coming back to this, I think the answer is to use the existing 6mm "cooker" feed for the hob, and get an electrician to fit another 6mm feed from the fusebox for the oven, with its own fuse. That covers all the safety needs, and leaves...

    Installing induction hob+electric oven...separate circuits or same?

    You're talking about the existing "cooker" supply here? It will be used for the induction hob, not the oven. From the fuse box (45 amp fuse) there is about 8 metres of twin and earth going to the switch with neon. About 4 metres goes along brick wall and 4 metres in stud wall. Then from the...

    Installing induction hob+electric oven...separate circuits or same?

    You're talking about the "cooker" supply here? What do you mean by "does the route encounter any insulation"?
