    Neff hob with a plug - can it be hard wired?

    I would definitely go with changing the outlet to a single socket as hard wiring a plug appliance to a (presumably) 32A circuit can cause a few problems. With a socket and plug scenario at least the the fuse drops the amperage to (at least) 13A. While talking about wiring of hobs and by...

    Which Training Provider ?

I chose them for the qualifications after having been in the field for 15 odd years as an electrical labourer/mate and even so found them very effective in their teaching with especial emphasis on...

    MCS I think is where the money is at the moment and will be so for the next 5 to 10 years probably. Don't miss the train son!

    Boiler FCU Spur question

    Boiler FCU Spur question
