Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well done Screwfix It's nice to be able to buy as little as 10m of this cable at a very good price. It is available at other outlets in 10m but at a much higher price. "Well done Screwfix". DIY'r's need more of these offers specially in these times of not overusing the Planets resources.

Is this suitable for an induction hob?

I have an induction hob. Specs are: 7.35kW 220V-240V The cable will need to wire into a wall plate and the cable will wire straight to the hob will not set into the wall or anything. Thanks
Asked by: DIYDaveII
Thank you for contacting Prysmian Group UK Technical Support. In this instance, we would advise consulting a qualified electrician who will be able to advise on the correct cable size - there may also be details within the hob documentation which clarifies the correct cable to use.

Description states "7 Strands Per Core" but surely this is 6mm solid?

Asked by: DeeAyeWhy
Hi, All of our Twin & Earth cables above 2.5mm have stranded conductors.

What amps is this cable rated at?

Asked by: Qqqqqqq
Hi, The current rating will depend on the method of installation - we would recommend consulting the relevant table within the wiring regulations. Alternatively, we do have a cable sizing app available at cableapp.com which may also be of use.

I need to extend a double plug socket cable by 1-2m, will it be safe to use this 6mm cable for that as i have some left over ?

Asked by: ajs89
HI, we would advise you consult with a qualified electrician for guidance in this area. Guidance in Appendix 15 of BS7671, advises a 2.5mm² for socket extensions. We don't believe a 6mm² should be used for your application, but you should seek professional advice.
