Cooker Flex Size

[Clifford Hopcroft]

I Have 32A breaker on a 6mm circuit powering a 6.5kw hob. What size flex should be used?

 

[ProDave]

At full load the hob will draw about 28 amps.

The flex size will depend on the manufacturers ratings, but it's unlikely it will be less than 4mm

 

[OnOff]

Not just what size but what type!

I've used this H07BN4-F cable:

My wholeealers keep,that ( above ) and H07RNF on the shelf in 6mm as well

Easy to fit if you have the correct crimps

Last hob I Saw came with a flex the same as on Xmas tree lights!

What do the manufacturers installation instructions say?

Reducing pins....F handy

Just had to buy some Cembre 25 to 16s.....due to,a,certain person who should know better/have realised that the 25mm cable would not fit in the stupidly undesized hole

I'm that sad I carry about 6 off each of 10/6, 16/10, 25/16 & 35/25 on the van!
