Can I connect the oven and hob through the terminal box?
Hello! I have a terminal box. Is it possible to connect a hob and an oven to it at the same time? That is, so that on one side of the box a power cable is connected, and on the other hand, the cables of two devices enter into one hole? That is, two phases in one hole, two zeros in the other, two grounding in the third?

In order to determine the possibility of connecting electrical appliances to the terminal box, you need to know the rated current for which this terminal block is designed. The total connected current of electrical appliances must not exceed the rated current of the terminal box.
As for the connection of two wires under one screw terminal - if the cable conductors have a different cross-section, then it is highly likely that this terminal will not provide a reliable contact between the two wires and the terminal, which will eventually lead to its damage.
