Cooker wire

[carlos1984]

What should I get for this? I know you guys must be sick of cooker questions. Am I correct to put one live at the bottom, neutral and earth to right? All 3 lives do not need to be connected do they? Thank you.

Thank you, I am guessing I can get similar from screw fix etc? Why on the block is their so many connectors? I can just use the bottom one for live?

The many connectors are for European circuits. That's why the copper links are used for Britain.

Yes, L to one of the 1, 2 or 3 - bottom is fine,
N to one of the 5 & 7 ? and
E to E.

Couldn't see any at Screwfix, but maybe.

looks very much like a NEFF connector too. (though they used torx screws )
The NEFF one came with cable.

I believe B&Q sell the cable, should you get desperate

As EFLI says, it'll be for other markets where high current supplies aren't common, but 3 phase may be. With everything switched on, your appliance will draw something like 30A - which may be several times the supply capacity of some continental supplies !
By removing the links on the left, the loads can be spread between 3 phases at perhaps 10 or 11A max on one phase (depending on how the individual loads are connected internally).
They can cut down on manufacturing complications (multiple variants for different markets) by making all units as 3 phase and just installing the links and putting a different sticker on for single phase markets. The added cost of using the 3 phase connector and links will probably be considerably less than the cost of tooling up for different connectors (different panel needing a different hole punching) and different wiring.
