Hi, can someone please advise on where if anywhere I may acquire an adapter to duct out this old Elica cooker hood. The hole is 150mm x 90mm and I can’t imagine a way of ducting out without an adapter of some sort. Does this item exist or would it just originally have come with the cooker and no...
I have had my kitchen rewired ready for a new kitchen. I was originally going to have a gas cooker so a 3 pin 13a socket was left on the end of the 6mm t+e cable. I have changed my mind and now am going to have a freestanding electric cooker. To check if i now have sufficient cable, i have...
Good Evening. I’m currently carrying out an EICR. I have a cooker circuit radial with a 32amp mcb fed from and RCD split board. There is a 45amp double pole switch fitted with a single socket on the plate. Fed in 6mm T+E.
Then there is a 2.5mm T+E off the load side of the cooker switch down to...
Just wondering what everyone’s view on this is, if you’re mourning cooker or hob switch in cupboard close by. Would you still terminate into an outlet then go from there to cooker or hob? Or would you take the cable straight into the appliance
I'll start by saying - I have absolutely no intention of doing any wiring or anything electrical myself. You get someone professional to do a professional job - I know that. I just want to understand what I should consider so that I don't end up having to rip out or rework stuff afterwards.

We have a room in the house that was the kitchen. That has been relocated to a different area, so the old kitchen has been sold off and the room will be a bathroom. I’ve studded out the room and lined with cementitious board ready for tiling. All first fix plumbing is done. All sockets are...
Hi all,
I'm about to replace our kitchen and one of the upgrades is to install two full size ovens to replace the original twin over under counter unit.
The existing 45a cooker switch is in the right place but no convenient space for a second... Is there a reason I can't or should not connect...
Hi All,
We have an old Country villa in Spain. The housing electrics were not good so the house recently has been completely re-wired to a good standard.
Due to some miscommunication with the electrician however, he forgot to create a separate circuit for the electric cooker.
Looking at the...
Hi,
Just been scratching my head about this one and wonder if I've missed anything.
A few weeks ago I installed a new circuit for a 3kw oven and a 950W microwave. Ran the circuit in 6mm T&E clipped direct on a 40A RCBO.
Customer has reported that on maybe three or four occasions the RCBO...
My builder has sprung a job on me.
New circuit required for a hob.
The CU has a single 30mA RCD, type AC.
I am still unsure exactly when I should insist on type A, and when I should just advise.
Would you guys be insisting on type A in this case, thus fitting a new CU (as it is an old NSB wylex...
DIYer question.
I have a 32 amp supply going from consumer unit in garage to kitchen. It supplies an induction hob only. The cable is easily accessible.
I need an additional socket in the garage - 13 amp max. The easiest and hopefully cheapest way to do this is to take a spur off the 32 amp...

Hi
I also posted this on the DIY Electrical Advice - Electrical Appliances Forum
My Kitchen has never had a cooker hood installed.
Where the new hood is going to be situated is some distance from any of the outlets in the kitchen ring main.
However there is a cable coming out of the wall near...

Hi,
To give a bit of background, it is a Lincat ESLR9 electric cooker. It is very simple design with two fans and two elements.
Two weeks ago the cooker made a bang and tripped the consumer unit, upon inspection I could see that the contactor appeared burnt-out and a wire on a heating element...
I'd appreciate a quick sanity check, thanks in advance:
New circuit for a 3 phase cooker, in a community centre (run by a charity). Total load 16.5kW: L1 27A, L2 27A, L3 15A. (6kW oven, 6 hotplates: 3x 2kW, 3x 1.5kW).
Commercial setting so no diversity: 3x 32A OCPD. (?)
TN-C-S, so Zs...
I have just had my kitchen redone and the kitchen rewired with a new 6mm cable installed for an electric cooker.
However I have changed my mind and now will be installing an all gas cooker instead of an electric cooker.
The gas cooker comes with a plug for the hob lighter and oven light...
(Trying again, as picture didn't post first time)
Hi, I'd be very grateful if anyone could help me here. Below, I've pasted a sketch showing how my oven is currently wired up, followed by 3 potential solutions, but of course I'd be more than happy to see alternative propositions. But let me...
Cooker circuit has B40 MCB in the CU for the cooker, confirmed wired to the cooker outlet throughout, via a cooker switch & socket with a 10mm cable.
Issue is new cooker has a 1.5mm cable (fitted by manufacturer see image). It is 3.22KW rated load, and 16A fuse rating. The cooker connection too...
