My daughter has a Teba OC6301N hob with cracked glass. I know Teba have long ago closed, but I need the power ratings to find a suitable replacement. Anyone have a manual or technical specifications?
as longs as its on a cooker main then the electrical part will be fine
its more a case of will it fit the aperture in the work surface

It is connected to the cooker main, so thanks for that.
Am I right that an induction hob would probably overload the circuit when it is in addition to the cooker load?
If so, I guess I have to go for a ceramic (halogen) hob.That was why I wanted to know the rating of the hob, as the cooker and the hob share the same 32A circuit (plus the socket outlet of the cooker panel), so the maximum load must not be more than 230V x 32A = 7.4 kW. Many 60cm 4 ring ceramic hobs are rated at over 6kW so that doesn’t leave much for the cooker and a socket load, which could well be a 2.4kW kettle.
I know it’s unlikely that all items are operated at maximum power at the same time so do I accept this and not worry too much about the theoretical maximum current draw and the possibility of the breaker tripping occasionally, do I need to find a lower rated hob or am I missing a trick in my logic?your forgetting one thing
yes the hob 6 kw but thats if all 4 rings are on full power. Thats highly unliklely to happen and if it does it wont be for longDave
Yeah, in a further trawl of the internet I learned about Cooker circuit diversity (https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Book/6.5.2.htm#:~:text=The{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}20diversity{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}20applicable{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}20to{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}20the,unit{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}20includes{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}20a{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}20socket{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}20outlet.)
This has allowed me to calculate the current and confirm that a 32A breaker and 6mm cable are good for a 6 to 7kw replacement.
Now I just have to decide ceramic or induction and find a good second hand one as the whole kitchen will probably be replaced in a few years.
Thanks for the responses.induction is more energy efficient but you must buy good quality induction pans. They are also more child friendly as only the pan heats up and not the whole of the glass top, which means burnt on food on the hob seldom happens
Had a client recently who had bought cheap Asda pans, even though they said induction it was the pans causing her hob problemDave
