Re: New 50 amp induction wirring help
Seeing as you have the hob and we don't, what do the instructions say?

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

Re: New 50 amp induction wirring help
You connect it as per the drawing you have.
The drawing you choose depends on what supply you have (As the drawing shows) you either have a 50A mcb or a 32A mcb and a 16A mcb (again, as per drawing)

Re: New 50 amp induction wirring help
Standard way would be a cooker connection unit, you can get double cooker connection units that will take the two cables. Clearly a commercial induction hob to need so much power.

Re: New 50 amp induction wirring help
how you wire it depends entirely on your existing wiring. Pic of the CU and the cooker switch please. (domestic switches are normally rated @ 45 A max)Wayne3331 wrote:So if I’m using drawing on left I have to connect all the lives together then all the neutrals and then earths ect.can you do this in like a junction box and then from that down to dp switch then to 50amp breaker.
You can't just replace say a 32 Amp breaker for a 50 Amp breaker without upgrading the supply cable.

Re: New 50 amp induction wirring help
The cable that was there was a 6mm with 40 amp mcb. I have changed this for a new 10mm one with a 50 amp breaker.
Cu is Hager.
Have not purchased a cooker outlet yet as I did not know if there would be anough room to connect the cables in a standard one.
So to recap 50amp mcb to 45amp dp switch to cooker outlet to hob.
The cable length is 5m long and is running in an 18 inch void under the floor if this helps(diversity)
Thanks

Re: New 50 amp induction wirring help
Diversity might help, but I'd be looking at a 50 Amp cooker switch to be on the safe side. They are fugly though..

Re: New 50 amp induction wirring help
Yes they are lol.
Cheers for the quick reply.
So I know I’m repeating myself so I just need to connect l1 and l2 of larger cable to l1 of the thinner cable and n1 and n2 of larger cable to n1 of thinner cable. And then earths etc into cooker outlet in respective connectors and then 10mm from that to the 50 amp dp switch and then on to cu .
