What's a better way to wire this induction hob?

[EFLImpudence]

- The new hob is 7.4kW, the old one 7.2kW.
- The old hob has been used for 12 months without any noticeable problems, certainly nothing ever tripped.

Ok.

- 7.4kW is only ever likely to be drawn with all burners switched on at max.

And then only for a very short time.

- It's on a C25 breaker (pic in earlier post) which I believe means a max of 25A.

In the U.K. a 7.4kW hob would be perfectly acceptable on a 25A circuit but I don't know what is allowed in Spain - although the physics is obviously the same.

- The label on the cable (pic in earlier post) of the new hob suggests the rating should really be 32A.

It is but, as said, drawing that amount will only be for a very short time until the rings start cycling off an on - more off than on; especially an induction hob
.

Is the worst that can happen that the breaker will trip?

Yes - but it won't

Or could I cause more damage?

No.
