wiring new hob

howiebull

hello new here, first post, happy new year everyone,
i have just fitted a new kitchen, and ready to wire new lecky hob, my question is, the wiring diagram is as follows

terminals 1 to 5

terminal 5 earth
terminal 4 nuetral
terminal 3 left empty

terminal 1 live brown, with a bridge to t2, does this mean i can use either terminal 1 or terminal 2 for live, or do i have to bridge 1 & 2 together

thankyou for your feedback :rolleyes:

It means you follow the wiring diagram.

Or get an electrician in who knows what they are doing.

Electrical work in a kitchen requires notification to the LABC.

It means bridge 1 and 2 together. You may find that the manufacturer has done this for you? Make sure to use correct spec wire.

More helpful answer is to join t1 & t2 together. As far as i was aware, if it's a straight swap just being connected upto existing cooker point there is no need to notify under part P .

It may or may not be a straight swop, and as it's a new kitchen as well....
Also depends on the age of the original installation, if it conforms to the right specs, the rating of the old hob, the rating of the new hob, the type of cable used etc.

The question for the OP is what are you wiring the hob to - if it takes more than 3kW with all rings on, then it can't be wired to the ring main and needs to go on a dedicated 45A circuit. If you're not absolutely sure, get a sparky in.

My question is:

Is it even the OPs house?
