AEG Hob asking for h03v2v2-f

[Sard]

Hi,

I'm installing my new AEG Hob and have it on a dedicated 32A RCBO and 6mm2 T+E cable. However the manual is asking for H03v2v2-f cable that is rated upto 90c? I'm temporarily installing the hob for now whilst we wait for our counter top templating and installation, so in the meantime assuming the 6mm2 cable is fine, can I just connect that to the appliance or do I need a DP switch in between?

Only between the wall and hob.

Yes, it will be temporarily but lots of people have it longer than that.

can I just connect that to the appliance or do I need a DP switch in between?

You don't have to have a switch -

but if you did you could use the flex.

Thank you for the advice. Can I please confirm that if I chose to leave it permanently wired with the 6mm2 that it would be perfectly fine?

Also if I did use flex from the DP switch to the appliances, is there a particular size I should use?

All I can say is lots of people do.
Is there an oven under the hob?

4mm².

Thanks. No oven on this circuit, I had a new circuit put in for the new oven going in.

Can I also please confirm that it is best practice or advisable to crimp the conductors using a crimp connector and attach those to the appliance?

Perhaps if you crimp properly (not with squash flat rubbish) - but not essential.

You cannot crimp the solid cores in T&E (with equipment that people usually have to hand).

I was forgetting the size.

Of course 4mm² and 6mm² T&E have stranded wires (except the 4mm² CPC(earth wire)).
