Hi,
Are ceramic hobs prone to problems with RCD's when the hob is a few years old?
I changed a board yesterday, despite a couple of minor problems, when the lady (nearly 90) went to put her dinner on, as soon as she turns any ring on it trips the RCD... I felt bad to be honest.
I am going...
For a project at university I need a fairly intense light source for a fluid dynamics experiment, as the previous one broke. I've been advised a halogen source of around 50W should be sufficient, though as I am a mechanical engineer, my electronics understanding is very basic.
Through basic...

Okay, this was a thread that was posted in the main forum. The guy has 8 heaters which are cabled to a control panel where they are switched on and off by contactors.
The control panel is supplied with a 3-phase supply from a local DB and each heater is protected individually by a 16A MCB...
Need a wee bit of help here guys. I've not been on the site for yonks but that's no excuse, also I never post but just like reading the forums to see how everybody solves different problems. I'm not much of a guy to post anything on social media so forgive me for not replying to the questions...

Hi,
I have been asked to go and look at some ceramic wall mounted heaters that are tripping the circuit breakers every time they are switched on. There are 9 in total and only 4 seem to trip, they are all wired in separate radial circuits.
Has anyone had experience on these type of heaters and...
Hi,
I'm trying to replace one of the hotplate elements (Bosch 180mm 2000w hilight 644726) on my Neff Hob (T1373S0/01).
I've received the replacement part but the new one has 5 connections on the wiring block compared to 2 on the old one as you can hopefully see on the pics.
I suspect the...
Hi, bought a Hotpoint single oven and a ceramic hob to upgrade the kitchen. The hob is hardwired but the oven comes with a 13A fused plug.
The current wiring is 10mm cable from a 40A RCBO to a cooker switch above the worktops with a socket on it. Then 10mm cable from it to a cooker connection...
Any formation would be appreciated, i am trying to source some 3 terminal semi-recessed ceramic ceiling roses, the type that fit onto circular steel conduit boxes. Not used them for many years and a quick search on the web resulted nothing.
Thanks Griffey.
Hi,
Currently I have a gas hob and electric oven which are both built in. Unfortunately, I have had to disconnect the gas hob because there is a gas leak and the gas connection is illegal as it uses a flexible hose and apparently for built in gas appliance it needs a solid copper pipe...
Hello,

Good Day to Everyone,
I have a doubt that google has not been very helpful because I do not know the 'right terms' to be googling for.

I'm repacing a free standing cooker with a ceramic hob and separate oven. I already have a control switch and 1 oulet box. Is it good practice to have 2 separate outlet boxes, separately spurred from the switch, or wired in series? Or can i connect the two appliances from the same outlet box...
Hi, i have been asked to fit a ceramic hob or induction hob, my friend is unsure which type they will buy yet. Not sure if it is going to be a new oven as well.
Anyway, was just wondering is there anything i should know before fitting this, this will be the first cooker / hob i have done...
Hi Can anyone give me information on the testing and wiring for a ceramic hob hotplate. The unit in question is a Firenzi EH919 (believed to be a rebadged Electrolux ?). I have been asked to replace a hotplate that my customer has sourced, (he did well as I spent over a hour on the telephone and...
I have a travel adapter that has blown a fuse due to using a hairdryer in Cuba.
I need to replace it. The original has a 2.5amp ceramic fuse in it. Can I put a glass type in or does it have to be ceramic? What are the differences between the two?
Tom
I am aware that a lot of old switch gear contains asbestos where the old fuse wire carriers are inserted. I am curious as to what is the correct and safe method remove this. Is it necessary to call in an external contractor as i know they can be pretty pricey.
