You'll have to make sure you've enough room in consumer unit to fit cables in as well. I know one of my customers bought Siemens induction hob and double electric ovens and they are impressed by them and she is a proper baker/cook

Ok, so got my answer, with the plug in type obviously it can't draw as much power as the hard wired type. So as u turn on more and more induction plates the power management system limits the current that it draws. In essence, u can't have all 4 plates on max power because that would blow the fuse, so it shares the available power between them. So if u can cook with two plates you're kool, if u need more than two it might be a pain cos you're not going to have full power available to all plates. 
So it's gonna have to be a hard wired type for me, which will be a pain, supply is opposite end of house. :incazzato:
Thank you gents for your input, all really appreciated! :8:

What you don't want, and my sparky advised, is to have an oven on the same circuit as all your sockets otherwise chances are it will trip out, because it will be overloaded when all appliances are switched on, which would probably on Xmas day so no turkey for you!! Keep your oven and hob on its own dedicated circuit to avoid this and it should be fine. Speak to your sparky to see if you require just one cable or if you need a cable for the oven and hob individually, my sparky knowledge doesn't extend that far.

thanks John, much appreciated!
yeah I have one dedicated circuit already, which I'll use for the oven, so I'll have to get a second installed for the hob now.
Things u gotta do to get fed eh! :mad2:
Thanks again

its about checking the cable size is right. The cooker itself cannot do this so the idea of it saying you can't have four rings on full is daft..no offence. What you are taking about is called diversity. It means that the cooker will not demand full power because each ring and oven will switch in and out based on demand. Normally cooker cables can be calculated based on 30 amps plus 30% of the remaining demand so if your cooker is rates 40amps yOu take 30 amps plus 30% of the remaining power draw so 3 amps (30% of the remaining 10amps) which means your cable needs to take at leads at 33 amps. I'm fairly sure 16mm cable has a 52amp rating but you would need to double check this...

What I'm talking about is a PLUG IN INDUCTION HOB rated @13amps. They are out there.

Remember that if you don't have an induction hob already you may have to buy new saucepans as not all work with induction....
