Hob connection check

[johnny2007]

Hi everyone,
My neighbour got her new hob connected by currys.
The hob came with a plug but there was no socket behind the hob, just a blank plate with screw connectors, the ones that come in a strip.
The installer cut the plug and used Wago 221 to connect the hob and enclosed them in the back box behind the blank plate.
She wasn't sure about this, so I had a look.
Everything is neatly done, but the only thing I'm not sure is whether the 20A wago are up to the job.
My thinking is that it's fine considering that the hob came with a 13A plug.
Hob is on a separate breaker of 32A and a wall isolator near the hob.
What do you think?
Does it need a proper wall connector or is it fine?

My thoughts would be that the 20A wago and cable to the hob are it seems protected by a 32A mcb. so a risk to both if the cable will not carry 32A . It would have been better with a single socket or a 13A FCU fitted in my opinion.

The hob will be programmed not to draw more than 13A.
The chances of a short on the cable is small. The the 32A would quickly react if there was one

Sorry, maybe a stupid question, but how would a cable supplied attached to the appliance not be up to the job?

It wound have been protected by a 13A fuse in the plug so would probably be rated higher than that but not necesaryly 32A

Yes, of course thanks.
So, would changing the fuse to 13A in the isolator have the same effect or it's not worth it?
(Maybe another stupid question)
