    Hi there, wondering if anyone can give me some advice please. In my kitchen I have a cooker switch with a plug socket which I believe is on a dedicated circuit. If I test it with a Voltage Tester it read all correct as it should. Now if I turn off the Mcb on the CU which is labeled "Cooker" it...

    Is 0.15M ohms N - E a fault on a cooker?

    Further to my other thread about the connected neutral. I have decided to write (politely) to the rather difficult customer and explain that I was right to indicate that the cooker was potentially dangerous. However, I thought I better check to see if it actually is! I found my results and the...

    Open neutral in cooker

    A client has a Kenwood CK405 dual fuel range cooker, for which the smaller of the 2 ovens doesn't work. The elements tested out fine, but live tests showed that both N and L sides of the elements were at 230V to E, so presumably an open neutral. I'm guessing it's a loose connection somewhere...

    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...
