H0V55-F cable
Ah, cable from an alternate universe. I found a roll of cable when I was
clearing out to get the garage removed, it was cracking its insulation. I suspect that no longer exists either it went to a good gypsy family.

Anyway, it can't get what it's asking for, so it's then down to my judgement. NT |

I suspect that that is only true if it has been specifically designed so that the cable entry parts do not get hot in normal use. That applies to most UK market cookers, I have no idea about hobs; or foreign items. If the makers want a heat resistant cable (hard to say in this case if the actually want a non-existent cable) then not using one is probably a breach of regulations. -- Roger Hayter |

The mfrs want a nonexistant cable. That's not going to happen. Some hob mfrs say 2.5 T&E is fine, some want 4mm even when peak current draw, without applying diversity, is within 2.5's rated ampacity. The reason for the latter is down to heat, the hob applies some heat to the cable and in some cases that plus current heating of the cable might be too much. NT |
