  • Could a sparky shed light on this?

    We've bought a Bosch PUE611BB1E induction hob, which is rated at 4700W. That's more than 2 phase 220 is going to provide, no? It only comes with a 3 core cable, and the provided installation manual only goes into 2 phase installation. Yet the installation manual linked here does list wiring for a 3 phase installation: https://www.rdo.co.uk/bosch-built-in-induction-hob-pue611bb1e-black.html

    The provided cable is too short, so I'll need to get a longer one anyway. What are the chances I'll kill myself / the hob when I get a 5 core wire and wire it up to be 3 phase?

  • 4700w / 240v = 19.58amps

    You need a circuit installed that can deliver 19.58amps. If you have an existing cooker circuit that you are not using and the fuse reads higher than 20amps you can have the hob connected to that.

    Otherwise you need a qualified electrician to install a new circuit.
