Hob Installation

[ramccaber]

Hi,

I've recently moved into a building and want to install a Neff induction hob that draws 6300W. There is no 32 amp loop in the kitchen area and I know that the 13 amp plug socket won't take that load.

However inside the wiring compartment on the hob are bridges that I assume if removed will allow only one or two of the rings to work. If this is the case could I remove the bridges and have one/two rings working? Thus enabling me to use the hob on the 13 amp socket (which is on its own, ie nothing else drawing power from it & has its own 13 amp isolator) without having to get an electrician in? As I'm only here temporarily.

I'm guessing that if the plug can't take it, all that will happen is one of the two 13 amp fuses will blow?

Here's a picture of the inside of the wiring compartment on the hob:

Any help or advice on this would be much appreciated.

And probably found in the electrics forum.
