Fitting electrical points in a hob

[sparkwright]

Didn't the op start talking about links for his hob,
then
go on to talk about the loading of his oven?

People, please stop and look at the title of the thread. He has not got an oven, it has not got a door, its a blooming HOB!!!!

And having looked at the title of the thread, carry on and read the posts in it.

<Questions about his hob>

Oh - one other thing, the oven is on the ring main. Is a 13amp fuse correct? It is a single door oven.

Its a Framtid OV3 or OV5 from IKEA. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50142752

He's got a hob and an oven.

I wonder why they are so reluctant to say whet the max load is?

It's not just them - it's a common problem. They have to provide the official kWh figures, and an energy class rating, but I expect the adverts and websites are written by people who have no idea what any of it means and just don't get the fact that the maximum load is also a vital piece of information.

It is quite likely to be about 3 kW. There ought to be a makers plate, possibly round the back, that specifies its electrical requiremnts

not all countries have our wonderful 13A plug and wonderful Ring circuit

For that reason it's quite likely to not be 3kW - more than that, with an assumption of 16A radial circuits, is quite likely.

Now I am confused about what he now wants to know...

Hi,
I have just fitted a hob where there were 2 points for live, and they needed to be joined. I used 2 pieces of 1mm copper wire, unsheathed to connect the 2 lives. Is this an acceptable way of doing this or what is the correct way please?

Oh - one other thing, the oven is on the ring main. Is a 13amp fuse correct? It is a single door oven.

There wasn't a plug in the pack

links are for an Oven (not a hob)

edit: far too slow
