Ceramic Hob Cable

[Andy Velcro]

Hello

I'm about to install a ceramic Hob which doesn't come with a power lead. The instructions recommend "Power Cord Type H05 VV-F or higher" this means nothing to me!

H- harmonised

VV - PVC PVC
F - fine wire flex

tell us the power rating and well be able to tell you what CSA youll need. itll prob need 2.5, possibly 4

Thanks for the reply. I've had a look and the only figure relating to power is 6600w which I presume is 6.6Kw, is that any help.

28A. would need 4mm at least. altho, most people would just wire them with 6 or 10mm T+E. what size is the existing cable and MCB/fuse?

 

[Andy Velcro]

The cooker socket is supplied via a 40A trip and 6mm cable.

i would reommend using 6mm T+E to connect it.

 

[Andy Velcro]

6mm it is then. Thanks!
