By Rings I mean ceramic hobs. But do they not run on separate circuits????Rings? I don’t think so!
Fairly common in my part of the country, where there are loads of two phase farm supplies, but agree that it's unconventional for a domestic supply.Running things dual phase is pretty unconventional over here
It's more likely to be one for oven and one for hob.The 2 x 16 amp feeds are on a single phase just separate breakers. Thanks for your reply.
Can I run a 7.3Kw induction hob off of 2 x 16 amp circuits single phase I'm not sure what size cable is installed, I will check.
Would I be be able to run with the 2 x 16amp breakers or should I install a single 32 amp breaker with separate RCD?
Thanks in anticipation.
The oven is on a separate breaker and the two other breakers are marked electric hob 1 and electric hob 2 . I need to pull out my cabinet to see where the cables/outlets are positioned and what size cable is provided. I have a feeling that there are two points and I wired into one of them for my gas hob ignition but that was 6 years ago so everything is a little hazy.It's more likely to be one for oven and one for hob.
Do these feed into separate switches/points ?
You still need to look at cables sizes.
He needs to get an electrician in.Using all 4 burners at max? probably never. With one 16a MCB and one circuit it will probably never trip. If it does but both cables into one 32A MCB making a ring of 1 point.
*Assuming there's nothing else fed from these 16a circuits, the cabling is the right size, and you have a suitable cooker outlet or cooker isolator. Not wiring two 13a plugs together.

Unconventional doesn't make it wrong though, so I can't think of a reason to say it definitely shouldn't be done, although the MCBs should be a DP and the isolator a TP.

Should I ask for a single 32 amp breaker to be installed?
Completely and fully agree that gas is far superior for a hob, but a common reason for changing to electric is to avoid costly annual gas checks in rented property.And on another note, why would you change from a gas hob to an electric hob? Gas hobs are much nicer to cook on and cheaper to run.
