Hob Terminal Wiring

[kingfisher]

Tme to connect my new Hob.

New Consumer Unit. Dedicated Circuit/Breaker. 5.8KW Rating. Nice thick 6mm Cable running up to HOB via dedicated Switch.

Question :
The Hob does not come with a plug and you obviously have to wire direct into Hob connections. This is all o.k but the 6mm cable is not braided (obviously) and is difficult to work with and connect. What is the normal way to connect the Hob. Can I use braided wire and connect that to the 6mm ? If so, Junction box or braided direct into Switch ? What is H05VV-F type cable as the manual mentions this ?

i do hope your new CU is rated more than 5.8kw.

The cable the manufacturer specifies is actually ordinary PVC flex.

Use a flex outlet plate behind the hob.

http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/CA4F3.html should be sufficient to connect. rated 32A, your hob draws 25A. Make sure there is a 32A MCB at the consumer unit.
