AEG ceramic hob wiring.

Hi I have an AEG ceramic hob and it is 6.4kw nominal power can I use H05v2v2 ff heat resistant cable.

I assume we are talking of the final connection, between the properties fixed wiring and the appliance?

Yes you can use heat resistant flex, but not necessarily just heat resistant. Any suitable sized cable may suffice.

What does the manufacturer instructions say?

Hi it says to use H05BB-F or H03V2V2-F that withstands up to 70 degrees.

Does it recommend a cable size?

It doesn't give a size but the cable I have is 10mm outside diameter think it 2.5mm

Standard PVC twin&earth is rated at 70degs C.

6.4KW = 27A. That is the absolute max for 2.5mm cable. I’d be looking for 4 or 6mm.
how big is the MCB for the circuit?

what about applying some diversity. Bit of 2.5mm flex would be okay.

The hob is unlikely to pull the full 6.4KW. But I would still want to see a bigger cable than 2.5mm in there.

Haven’t my old BYB on me, but TLC direct says 2.5mm butyl flex is good for 25A.
