Hi,
I'm replacing a ceramic hob with a new induction ceramic hob.
I'm not sure about the size of the cable capable of taking the power from the new hob.
At present I have a 6mm cable coming from the 45amp cooker switch that goes into a junction box (the round junction box is quite large but I can not see anywhere on it where it says what ampage it is).
The induction hob uses a total of 7000W split between the four rings. All it says in the installation manual is connect on a circuit breaker with a 30 amp minimum suppply.
I always thought that the cooker cable should be one continuous cable back to the cooker switch, the previous hob went into a junction box then a 6mm cable goes to the 45amp cooker switch, then it goes back to the consumer box where thier is a trip for the cooker.
Is 6mm cable the correct cable for 7000W hob?
Thanks
