Does a ceramic hob need a special circuit

Hi, If its power rating is higher than 3kw, it will need its own circuit. It is better to have a dedicated circuit anyway. regards, Andy

HI Kenneth It will normally need its own dedicated circuit of 32amps or 40 amps with a isolator switch fed via 6mm cable.Depends upon the load used. Seek advice from a local electrician if in any doubt Hope this helps Russ
