Cooker cable

You got that one wrong. What it suggests is you regularly have accidents relying on the seatbelt to protect you from injury.

7.2kW for a single over sounds fairly high... (many are only around 1800

- 2200W)... you sure its not a kiln you have there ;-)

Its only 5kW, I think I can manage that with one ring on boost.

It will get to 500C so its getting close.

I bet that makes nice pizza.

Normally we take precautions against all unfortunate events, even unlikely ones. In the specific case of the hob and the oven, A short to ground inside the hob or over would be unpredictable and rare, but it would be useful if the unaffected appliance continued to work. And if they are on separate circuits it makes fault finding easier.

It would come out as ash, if it didn't burn the house down.

The large ring on the one I have will do 3.7kw on boast, but if you turn another ring on the boost goes off!

500C on a domestic oven? For what use?

AFAIK you can't work clay, glass or metal at 500C. Or food!

(possibly don't try this if you live in a high-rise)

(on-topic for ukdiy as (a) making your own pizza (b) modifying domestic appliances in an irresponsibly dangerous fashion)

900 °F or 500 °C is about right for a pizza oven...

It wouldn't work with these ovens without modifying them. Its the cleaning cycle and it turns all the grease and sugars to a white powdery ash you just wipe off.

The mod needed would be to remove the lock on the door as its not possible to open them once the temp goes above about 250C. It stops silly people hurting themselves as much.

Ah - forgot about that. Just what's needed - fill the kitchen with smoke and smells. ;-)

I'd be tempted to recheck those ratings for the hob before even considering diversity.

Our induction hob is theoretically a maximum of 7.2kW on normal (2*1800W+1*1400W+1*2200W) and 10.5kW on boost (2 x 2500W+1800W+3700W)

With all rings on boost, it would equate to 45A at 230v but there is an overall current limit you can configure at initial power on in the settings to either

13A, 16A or 20A but no higher, so at 20A its only a total of 4.6kW @ 230v.

Mine has no boost function, and no stated power limits, but it's interesting that yours has more powerful "burners" when used individually but it's a less power hungry appliance in total.

It's necessary for some Euro markets when they often have an infeed to a property fused at 16A or 32A rather than the 80A or 100A we have in the UK.

In some countries, you pay for the size of the feed as well as leccy used?

Its more likely to be to make the cooling of the electronics easier.

Its also marketing. The next hob up from mine can have two rings on boost at a time and has a higher maximum power output.
