I think your Consumer Unit has an RCD.
Am I right?
When the electrics go off, what is written on the thing that you have to reset?
Do the lights go out?
Have you got a separate Main switch as well?
Who did the installation?
Is the cooker brand new from a shop?

I take it you mean the RCD is tripping. Could be a number of things for example a faulty cooker, a reversed neutral and earth, shorted neutral and earth, incorrect neutral bar used in consumer unit. Has it ever worked?

many thanks for replying when the electric trips out the main switch at the end of the consumer box is off all the other switches to the right stay on so yes no lights no nothing the cooker is not new but was used for six months with no problems i had to call the council out because there was no electric going to the cooker point in the first place the council in their infinite wisdom had decide to wire in a shower using the the rcd? that is made for the cooker i have never used a electric cooker in this house before
Can you lay your hands on a digital camera and put up a pic of the Consumer unit, pointing out the thing that has tripped?
The thing that has tripped might be marked "63A" or "80A" or "100A" and it might also sat "30mA" or "0.03A" and it might have a button marked "T" or "Test." It is likely to be 2 or 3 times as wide as most of the other items in the consumer unit.
Can you tell us what the markings are please.
There will also be a maker's brand name; what is that?
Also:
Is there another thing that equally big in the consumer unit; and what is printed or engraved on that?
When you fitted the electric cooker, how many wires did you connect, what colour were they; and what colour were the terminals or wires that you connected then too?
When this cooker was used before in the previous house, did that house have an RCD?
