Hello all, first post by a new member so apologies for any posting faux pas in advance. (Hopefully this is the correct place to ask this rather long question)
I’m in the process of re fitting my kitchen and was planning on making a couple of minor changes to the wiring installation. All of the...
Hello I’m confused about the amount of wires for a cooker hood that need fitting into a speed control switch and then into fused spur. I’ll attach some photos but can you guys please help me on how to wire this?
Thanks
Hi
I've removed a 3-phase commercial cooker from my kitchen (combined oven/hotplates/grill). The supply is via a 3 phase mcb (no RCD)
The replacements are a domestic induction hob and an integrated oven/grill.
The hob has 2 line terminals which can be linked for single phase or wired to 2...
Evening All another odd question (I love my customers)
There’s no 10mm or 6mm cable in their kitchen, apparently when it was wired there were all 13amp eco appliances. Anyway a new couple have bought it and want a 5 ring hob installed but the kitchen is done to a high standard so they don’t...
Good morning,
Hope this is in the correct place and would really appreciate some advice.
I had the house fully rewired in October 2017.
No problems since.
The electric switch for the cooker started making violent crackling sounds yesterday and the cooker is now unresponsive and I obviously...
Hi all,
When wiring a kitchen and the customer is buying a separate cooker and hob, which combined has too high a load for a single 6mm,
Do you wire two separate circuits with a 6mm for each or one larger cable and have both on same circuit?
I'm a gas engineer working for a well known retailer. Spend all day Installing cooking/laundry. Electrical training is pretty poor on their part. Here to educate myself in best practice/regs. Pretty sure much of what they ask us to do electrics wise is beyond our competency.
Hello all. recently bought a secondhand dual fuel cooker. Range Master Leisure.. Serial No. 5407003589. When it was first put in it worked fine. Then the following day, when the fan oven was switched on it would trip out. Got in touch with guy we bought cooker from and he said he never had...
Model 444440196 I think, Gas and electric. It fails when I turn the lower oven on in any capacity except just fan (fan without heating in any way). It has a fan and grill element and they both trip it. It has an option for just fan alone without heating and that doesn't trip it (least I think...
So I fitted a new metal faceplate switch on the wall socket for my cooker. All went well. As I'm also tiling I took it off a few days later, and noted some of the live wire insulation rubbed off presumably by me screwing the screws in when assembling. I have read of this before, first time hrs...
Hi, neighbour has asked if I would run new cable from existing cooker control unit to new oven/grill. The easiest way to run cable without disruption would be under existing kitchen cupboards. Cable would be 2.5mm or 4mm depending on oven. Is it ok to run this,this way ? and would it be better...
Hi,
What would be the Maximum disconnection time for a 40Amp domestic Cooker circuit in a TNCS system be, where it has a 13A socket outlet on the panel/isolator faceplate?
Obviously a final circuit >32A would be 5 secs but I was just interested as to whether the presence of a 13A socket outlet...
Hi, neighbour has asked me if I would move his cooker control switch for him. Since new position of it is further away,this would require joining existing cable via JB or, as is preferable, running a new cable. Running a new cable is a fairly big job,so do the regs allow a JB to be used in this...

Hi, my electric cooker switch isn't coming on. I've disconnected the cooker and it still doesn't light up when I switch it to on. Nothing's tripped at the supply end. This proves the cooker's not the issue doesn't it?
Hello I'm an apprentice but don't do any domestic work just commercial and industrial atm.
My question is if you don't have a design current for shower or cooker e.g. customer doesn't know what they are buying yet, how do you select your cable sizes and mcb rating?
This is purely for learning...
Firstly, I am not an electrician so please go easy on me and if I have omitted anything please ask.
We've had a new cooker and induction hob installed from Ikea. Here's some information on the setup :-
New consumer unit, 100A 30mA RCD feeds 8 MCB's
First MCB in line from the RCD is a 40A MCB...
Hi,
So i have turned up to a job and this information is all i have on how to fit a cooker and a hob.
Am i right in saying these to can be connected to a 6mm wire with a 45a switch for the hob and a 16a switch for the cooker?
Thanks
