We currently have a dual cooker and are switching to gas hob and single electric oven. Electrical cable connects to the back of the unit and isolator switch on wall
The gas hob (neff T26CS49S0) is hardwired. Can we switch this to plug safely or what is the best approach for this Thank you
Howdy experts,
I normally run 6mm T+E for cooker circuits, housing authority spec. I'm changing my gas inbuilt double oven and hob for electric/induction to pre-prep for the upcoming winter gas shortage.
Has anyone done 2x45A cooker isolators on the same circuit, I ran 10mm and a 40A MCB...
Can I run a 7.3Kw induction hob off of 2 x 16 amp circuits single phase I'm not sure what size cable is installed, I will check.
Would I be be able to run with the 2 x 16amp breakers or should I install a single 32 amp breaker with separate RCD?
Thanks in anticipation.
Hi,
Just looking for a bit of advice here. I am considering swapping my existing 4 burner gas hob for a Bosch induction one.
I am not proposing to carry out any electrical connections myself, but simply finding out what my options are at this stage.
The setup I currently have: a dedicated...
Another hob wiring question sorry,
I am replacing my oven and hob and the oven connections was fine, 6mm from new consumer unit on a 32a RCBO split to oven and hob.
the new hob is 6.2kw, old hob is 6kw the new one will not take the 6mm cable that was connected to the previous hob and the...
Hugely grateful for any advice. As part of our kitchen refit, we want to install an induction hob which is 32 amps. We have a 45 fused spur for oven and hob. Our oven is 14 amps. The induction hob takes us to 46 amps, 1 amp over. First electrician says we either need to rewire the kitchen to...
I've installed a ceramic hob and would like to check if I've done it correctly as I have a replacement coming tomorrow and would like to get it right.
The configuration is as follows:
40A circuit breaker feeds original wall plate and is now burried in the wall and has the new 6mm cable...
Hi, I am a DIYer but have a good knowledge of electrics. The new units both have standard 13A plugs fitted to supply cables.
Do I have to have a dedicated supply fed via 6mm sq cable? I have assumed it is not acceptable to connect them to a ring main?
I live in a bungalow and I have to retile so...
The photo shows a cooker hob ignition switch unit from a Neff/Bosch hob. One of the switches has failed. The issue was caused I think by ingress of liquid. I have dried the unit as well as I can. A replacement unit costs over £40. Has anyone ever opened one of these to repair it? I am reluctant...
The manufacturers instructions for an induction hob I will be fitting in the new year are telling me to use either H03V2V2-F or H05BB-F (basically 90degree PVC or rubber flex) for the connection.
These are difficult to get hold of in the couple of meters of 4mm that I need, and I'm...
Hi There, I am hiring an electrician shortly but so far have received conflicting advice so looking for clarity before I spend my money.
Can a socket for a kitchen self circulating hood and under cabinet lights be on same circuit as hob according to UK regulations?
Any advice appreciated.

Hi all,
A quick question, we are looking to purchase an induction hob and have been considering a second hand option, if one could be found that's almost new.
We have found someone selling an Electrolux one, that is claimed to be unused and looks like it is still in the packaging (minus any...
Replacing my hob and found this. Hob (6.4kW) installed on a dedicated 32A circuit, wired with 6mm TE. Five terminals on the hob, two lives and two neutrals have each been bridged with 1.5mm wire. TE cable is wired to one of the lives and one of the neutrals. Is this correct? Thank you
Hi, I'm a DIY'er but not a DIY electrician. I have a 3.5kW oven (15A min. 20A max. fuse) and want to connect a separate 7.4kW hob on the same 40A kitchen circuit. Looking at other posts in this forum it looks like it’s ok with a dual outlet, but do you need the cable dia. To check this first, or...
Hi guys here is the situation,switching all 4 heaters in induction hob(7.4kW)and it stops working.Taking out the oven (2.5kW)which is just underneath and find out that hob and oven are both plugged in to double socket.There is no cooker connection unit but there is cooker switch above.From the...
Hi, replacing gas hob with Zannusi 7.3kw (max)32a induction hob, and oven with aeg 3.2kw(max) 16a. I was going to put hob on existing 32a 6mm separate circuit, simple swap. However, my question is, can I put the oven on the other 32a kitchen ring circuit? Both require hard wire not plug and...
Hi, new here. Not a qualified electrican. Not wanting to self-instal. Not clueless though.
I have searched on 'induction hobs' here, before posting.
Question: what induction hob(s) are there on the market that do NOT self-limit to well below their (typically 7-8kW) rated maximum power, when...
Second post on an EICR I did today (always a good sign!)
70s flat with earthed conduit and singles. 6mm runs from the CU to presumably where an old cooker switch was - at some point that was tiled over somehow and is now inaccessible - what emerges below the worktop is 2 x 2.5 Twin and Earth -...
