Wiring induction hob

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows if this neff induction hob below would be ok for 32 amp and 6 mm cable ? If not any induction hob recommendations that would work ?

Thanks a mil

It says it needs 4600watts connection rating. 4.6kW is maximum ~22.5amps. 6mm2 cable is specified for 32amps.

Can't see any reason you can't use it. I wouldn't think you can buy a domestic hob that exceeds the standard 32amp MCB / 6mm2 used in Ireland.

Maybe a sparky will correct me though!

Thanks very helpful! Any electricians that could confirm please ?

it is ok for a standard 6mm 32amp supply

the issue could be if you also have an oven on the same circuit (especially a double oven)

diversity does apply as it’s unlikely (but not impossible)that you would have all the rings on at the same time along with the ovens working

Thanks a million the oven is on a separate circuit.

Diversity is the main thing to factor in when it comes to high load circuits. Especially when it comes to cooking lines.
