Step-by-step instructions for connecting an electric hob

Theoretical part.

So, the electric hob is connected to a specially taped high level ground socket with a throughput of 32 to 40 A. As for the wires, they must be copper, with three cores, and have a cross section of at least four millimeters. However today wiring distributions are designed for connection of four-core cables. Speaking of sockets, which are designed to connect hobs, they are classified as follows:

• three-contact;
• four-contact.

Installation Guide Of course, if you have a pre-assembled plug, the electrical panel connection is much simpler. But in order to connect the wire to the outlet, you need to know the specific nature of this process. Assume that the cooker hood has 4 cores( phase, phase, zero, ground) and there are 3 in the wall. This indicates that the plate requires a jumper between the phases on the terminal block to connect to the three-core cable.

So, we operate as follows: between the black and brown wire we install a copper jumper, which usually goes in the kit, and then connect one of the phases to the phase conductor of the apartment wiring( it should be black, brown, white).As for the earthing conductors and zero, they remain intact.

The cord received needs insulation. If the wires from the wall have the same color marking, then using a multimeter, determine where zero and phase are.

This is important! The outlet in which you intend to connect the electric hob, first disassemble and carefully check, because in some cases there is a mismatch between the contacts and the wires of the tile, so that after connection it can happen that the socket sparkles or starts to melt.

Strong recommendations for

Please note the following tips for connecting the equipment yourself:

1. Before you connect the electric hob, you need to install an RCD and an automaton. It is selected as follows: 16 A socket requires a switch from 25 A, and from 20 A - starting at 40 A. Categorically it is impossible to use the machine to more than one device.
2. The housing must be grounded, but not to the conductor from other equipment, but with the cores that are connected to the terminals from the socket. Most manufacturers propose models that already have a protective earthing bus, which only needs to be connected to the ground wires of the apartment wiring.

Induction cookers

The induction panel or oven, of which we have already written about the installation, can be connected in almost the same way as a cooking hob. Make sure there is no difference in principle by reading the following tips, where we will tell you about the connection of the plate.

1. Cords are three-core and four-core. If you decide to connect the cooking panel, it is better to buy a power cord suitable for kitchen sockets, designed for 220 or 240 volts.
2. Next, open the access panel. For this, it is necessary to find a rectangle on the back of the electric plate, hidden by a plate of metal. Using a screwdriver, unscrew it.
3. Remove the metal plate, find the terminals. First, insert the cable clamp into the hole. The cord must be held by the use of clamps. This must be done so that the electric wire does not fall out. Then start the cord through the cable clamp. Wait while tightening the screws.
4. If we want to connect an outdated oven, then there are 3 wires. The latest models should have 4: 2 - phase, 1 - neutral, 1 - ground. Their location is as follows: in the center there is a neutral point, on its two sides - phase wires, under it - the grounding point. Before connecting the wires together, make sure that there is a copper strip, which usually connects the ground wires to neutral wires. After seeing, elementary, remove it. The phases must be connected by a jumper, as we mentioned above in the instructions for connecting an electric hob.
5. The necessary process when connecting to the cooking panel is the combination of cords. Of these, black and red are phase wires, green is ground and blue is neutral. Before connecting the wires, unscrew the connection points and connect the wire instead. First, connect the green cable, then the blue one, then the remaining one( red or brown from the jumper).
6. Then make sure that the cord is well tensioned. It is undesirable that it be drawn or hung.
7. The difference between the panel of an electric stove and a gas stove is that for the control of the first one it is necessary to have a computer circuit, which is available in the technique of the latest generations.

Please note whether the connection is firmly established, otherwise the machine may not be able to withstand, and not only the device, but all the wiring, will have to be repaired. It should also be noted that the installation of the electric hob can be done without a plug, directly to the network. To do this, a separate line must be drawn from the junction box.

In this article, we clearly explained to you how to connect the electric hob yourself. We hope that you will correctly carry out the assigned tasks and achieve a positive result.
