No I'm happy with that arrangement, only if I'm using a 32A breaker (7.2kW) then what is protecting the cable which is rated at 25A.

I only found it up to 2.5mm but rated at 25A (3093Y). I'm struggling to find anything higher. Can you pm me any links please?

Anyone? Still can't find a 90C cable with the right characteristics

Cheers, can't find any stockists of it though! Where can I find that cable?

Good point, I consulted the manual and it says that an H05V2V2-F min 90C cable should be used, but what is the UK equivalent?

Thanks for all the advice The hob turned out not to have a cable at all (I suppose maybe in the European market they might). So I ended up wiring 6mm t+e into the terminals and ran that back to an isolator before running into the CU. I chose 6mm despite 4mm being sufficient (clipped direct...

Thanks! So the connection would be deemed accessible for maintenance and inspection if it is under the hob? i.e. you'd have to remove the hob to access the connection? And the isolation would have to be at the CU? Thanks, just want to be sure before the kitchen is fitted!

Building control will test and sign off the installation, not me. I have told them I am not a trained electrician. I have also not done anything unusual on the lighting or ring circuits. My questions about accessibility are because the definitions are a bit vague - is it considered accessible...

But I suppose the question still stands. How do I connect the hob to the consumer unit which is too far from the hob to use the flex (short of replacing the cable entirely and possibly voiding the warranty)? Is there a way of connecting to 4mm t+e? Either using the backbox behind drawers or a...

Thanks for the response. I think I may have caused confusion with what I'm describing. The layout of the kitchen on the long side of the L is an inbuilt washing machine next to the wall, then a big drawer unit (above which sits the hob), then another drawer unit and finally a corner unit that...

To maintain the streamlined design of the kitchen we have allocated an area for switches (grid switch and hob isolator) in the short section of an L-shaped worktop whereas the hob is on the long section, about 2.5 meters away from where we want to put the isolator. I have a backbox (currently...

Hi, thanks for replying. I intend to join the hob flex to the 4mm t+e. I then run the 4mm t+e into the isolator. From the isolator again 4mm t+e into CU onto a dedicated 32A MCB. The hob installation manual says a minimum 2x 16A breaker arrangement is to be used, guessing they wrote it that...

Hi I've notified building control of a full rewire at my house and am now doing kitchen wiring. I have an induction hob rated at 7.2kW that due to the kitchen design is quite far from the isolator (2.3 meters). I'm thinking of joining the hob cable to 4mm t+e clipped direct using a wago 222...

Its a digital shower (SELV control panel in the shower).

Thanks all for the great replies and information. I think I'm more comfortable having 12v where I'm showering and picking up shampoo bottles etc. The only issue I'm faced with now is where to site the driver? A) ceiling void under insulation (accessible from down light hole) B) floor above in...

Didn't notice that, I'll look for a DC driver and lights. Looks like deck lights are the right item, they're IP67 or IP68 and tend to be small. Are these generally the thing to use for lighting shower niches? @aptsys I haven't got a copy of the regs, but I'm not doing anything unusual with the...

I think no matter where the driver ends up, the length to the LEDs should be within 2 meters. Does that seem reasonable? I could also place the drivers on the floor above, but it would be in a bedroom wardrobe so I'd rather not. So better to place in ceiling void (accessible from down light...

Thanks! I hadn't thought that they'd break down. I have a downlight nearby where I can stick my hand through to the ceiling cavity, any issues with putting it in there within arms reach? There's 100 mm of insulation above the downlights, but I have insulation coverable ones.

Hi I'm carrying out a full rewire during the refurbishment of my house. I have notified the council and paid my fees; they'll come in and test after I'm done. After finishing the main wiring I'm now looking at accent lighting before all the walls and ceilings are skimmed. I have 2 bathrooms...
