Looking at induction hobs, I'm just trying to figure out what the logic is behind the wiring instructions. (I'm just curious, that's all)
Take this one for example, 230V model.

Page 21-22.
3core x 4mm² (30A rated double pole switch)
Then on page 22 it states 2+2N 220-240V
Using Neutral + Grey for N and Black and Brown for L
So which is it, using 2x4mm² per terminal, so in effect 5x4mm²
(1 PE - 2 L - 2 N) the two N's terminate in the consumer unit on the N bus bar, does that mean each L is connected seperately in the fuse box, or are they simply tied together again entering a single MCB?
What's the difference between 2+2N and just L + N?
What's the reasoning between using 2L's terminating on the same point?
Ok, so that's one out of the way, then we go and look at a different model which also supports 380-415V

Page 27 - 28
3x6mm² (L, N, PE)
Then on page 28 there are 3 examples.
380-415V 2N, Both N1 and N2 are tied together and connected to N to supply
"L"1 is L1 phase and "L"2 is L2 second phase.
220-240V Both N1 N2 are tied together and connected to N to supply
"L"1 and "L"2 are tied together and connected to L supply
220-240V 2+2N N1 is seperate from N2, as well as "L"1 is seperate from "L"2
Since all the Neutrals come together in the consumer unit, how does this differ from the two above setups?
L1 on 220-240V is on the same phase as L2?
But on 380-415V L1 is on a different phase as L2?
Does that mean that L1 and L2 are on the same phase on 220-240 but on a different MCB?
Just trying to get my head around the logic of it as it baffles me.
Only trying to educate myself a bit!
Does anyone know what the differences are?
All the neutrals come together in the fusebox so what's the point in seperated Neutrals on the device?
Since current is balanced on both Neutral and Live even in 3 phase mode why do there need to be two different neutrals?
Is it only to match the CCC of what is going into the device if you use two L's from the same phase? If so why not simply connect both L's and both N's together and get a cable with a higher CCC?
I just don't get the logic behind it, maybe someone can educate me
