    Induction hob correct install

    I’ve been looking for the right answer and just can’t seem to find it. I had an induction hob installed by a certified electrician, and there are no apparent problems so far, however, it is installed on the CU, RCD and upstream with a RCCB with no MCB, I’m just not 100% sure if it’s the safest...

    Hob with 475mm depth cutout

    Anyone know a decent online retailer that actually lists their hobs by recess dimensions (or even lists them at all in some cases?) Side rant - why do a lot of appliance websites tell you all the information except the bits an installer might actually want to know, like recess dimensions or...

There is an electrical Hob which is 7.8KW and electrical oven which is lets say manufacture instruction says 13A so somwhere around 2.0KWs. If you apply diversity on Hob it comes to somwhere around 17A and I know...

    Oven and hob on same MCB and diversity.

    I've just spent an hour getting bogged down with the maths trying to work out diversity for 2 cooking appliances on the same circuit (32A MCB) and same isolation switch, I thought I would give my workings so others can use it as I wonder if some just assume you can still use the 15kW maximum...

    Can i hardwire a plug and play AEG induction hob?

    We've recently brought a new build house and it's come with an AEG induction hob. We quickly realised there wasn't enough power to heat more than 2 pans at once. Rather pointless given its a 4 ring hob and slightly challenging cooking xmas dinner! We've had Bellway out and they explained its a...

    Cable and MCB size for oven and hob

    Good afternoon. I'm fitting a new kitchen with a new hob and oven. I hope to use just 1 isolation switch for both appliances. Together the wattage size is almost 11kW. Do I need 10mm cable with a 50A MCB? Is that right? Thanks.

    Help! With oven and hob wiring

    Hi everyone, Just having new kicthen installed and noticed that they wired 2.5mm HR flex off the cooker switch. The 2.5mm HR flex feeds to a dual cooker outlet which will power a 16amp cooker and a 32amp induction hob. The cooker switch is 6mm cable with a 32amp breaker. Is this okay? Many...

    Install plug on hob extractor fan

    Hi When we had the electrics installed for our new kitchen (few months back) we were advised by the electrician at the time to just add a standard plug to the wire of the hob extractor fan (once it was installed). I have finally come to do this, but would like confirmation that it is safe and...

    Max demand for double oven and hob

    Just some clarification please. Max demand for cooking devices. OSG says 10A + 30% of "connected cooking appliances in excess of 10A + 5A" if a socket is available in the isolator. The oven and hob are two devices. Does the 15A apply to both of them or just the first one? eg: Oven 4.8 kW Hob...

    Induction hob for preexisting 4mm T+E

    I have been told by a local spark that one can not run an induction hob on a 4mm T+E. From my understanding, most induction hobs are 7-8kW and "require" 6-10mm T+E but our housebuilder only put 4mm because they are cheap. Or maybe I am cheap for not coughing up £500 for a £150 induction hob...
