    I am PAT testing a very old 2100W Belling tabletop cooker that the customer is keen to keep & paying me to repair. It fails a L-E or N-E IR test at 0.46 M ohms. Internally the cooker uses bare rods rather than cable. I replaced the old cable & plug and L-N I get > 1999, but L-E or N-E still...

    UK Wiring new Hob / Cooker into circuit

    Hi folks, DIYer here, hoping for some advice before most likely calling in a spark. I'm looking to wire in new cooker and hob (separate units). Max draw 3.5kW and 7kW respectively. I believe the circuit is radial from consumer unit (32A RCD) to 45A DP switch plus socket. Have done diversity...

    Switching and isolation for cooker and hob on same circuit

    Evening all, I'm upgrading my kitchen electrics replacing the current gas hob for an induction hob. The oven was previously plugged into the kitchen ring. My thoughts are that with diversity and the fact both the oven and hob are on 13amp plugs or rated at less than that, then they could go on...

    cooker element readings

    I have measured the following readings to earth on a twin oven---- Element 1... 0.149, Element 2... 0.9, Element 3... 0.88 , Element 4 0.08. These all with the merger set at 500v. they all seem low to me especially Element 4, needless to say the RCD trips randomly.

    Cooker circuit tripping out with no appliances on it. Not immediately tripping.

    Even if the cooker and the plug is turned off it still trips after about an hour. It doesn't immediately trip out but it usually always turns back off after an hour or two, it doesn't immediately trip out. Do you think I need a new plug? Can a device plugged into another circuit trip a different...

    Odd cooker isolator position

    Hi all. Just finished a domestic EICR where I found the cooker isolator to be smack bang in the middle of the actual cooker position. The oven had a glass lid which, when lowered, automatically isolated the supply to the hobs. I have noted it down as C3 due to the existing cooker lid covering...

    Good afternoon I hope everyone is keeping well.
