induction hob cable size

[Geoffsd]

Don't burners use gas?

 

[Hawkmoon]

the manufacturer has done the diversity calculation for tou and 3.68kw is about right

If they have done this calculation for you they would need to stipulate that it is for 'normal' domestic use and presumably assume you have a socket outlet on your cooker switch?
Bear in mind the calculation of diversity allowance is the responsibility of the installer - not the manufacturer.

You could be installing this hob in a commercial kitchen.

For anyone interested went back to this job a week or so ago. Kitchen fitter had taken my outlet plate off and instead installed a single socket outlet as the hob came with plug top. The customer had decided to change the hob that they were having as the previous one couldnt be guaranteed before xmas. Its a little ott but they now have a 45a cooker switch controlling a single socket outlet wired in 6mm2

i know, like you said not having the full information and being unable to read minds i was always going to err on the side of caution as stated in earlier posts. Obviously had i the information to begin with i wouldnt have designed it in such a fashion.

Kitchens are usually the number one room for changes, wire it once and no doubt they'll swap the gas hob for a ceramic, add under unit lights, move the sink, drop the ceiling, move the whole kitchen a foot to the right and sack off the fan oven for an aga.....

I hate kitchens! Haha :lol:
