Well if it fits into the standard cooker calc by load and you are sure that the connectors will fit and carry the max current (depending on hob power rating which you haven`t mentioned yet) the it will do. Using the dual outlet plate that Pete has mentioned (provid it remains accessible) might...

Interesting!

Was a Horsepower 746 Watts or somesuch bak in the day?

No, I had not atualy considered that because of the oval only two sides of the hole might fit but the other two woulld be sloppy. if just doing something like bashing with a ball bearing from the front or back might produce a reasonable result on a large proportion of the ,overall depth thin...

Like John says replacing the whole back box would be the sensible option if you can. However I would say that wouldn`t I ? (Being an Electrician) . The part shown by Pete I`ve never seen in real life, the only solutions I have seen and used in real life (I bought 5 and have used 2 over a 5 year...

If you try hard enough to be correct then you`ll always suceed in infuriating somebody anyway. I used to know somebody who thout some PC people were too oversensitive, he was a clever fellow but very antiPC so in speeches he always endevoured to be as antiPC as possible purely to annoy them , he...

Nice one Eric :giggle:

Was the belt an administered punishment or was it an electric shock in a Darwinian attempt to remind you of your own mortallity? ;)

Yes I have wired plenty with Red to L and Black to N and also plenty with Green to E before it was changed to Green/Yellow !!! and Yes, some people had no clue how to wire a plug, cable sheath well outside the grip cord and E pullout first. And the number of times folk exclaimed they not...

Me too, and yes I am really old - 70 ;)

Yes it can be confusing sometimes. My "lamps in lampholders" and "Bulbs in Gardens" is a bit tongue in cheeck. "Spurs" and , to a lesser extent "Ring mains" is a slightly more serious attempt to inform the uninitiated of the correct terms for clarity on a forum such as this otherwise this kind...

Seems to be a bit of complex here, just by asking a question with a view to understanding which I find pretty normal. Maybe offence gets taken where none was intended, I suspect. I reckon that has more tendency with the written word sometimes than with the spoken word but there again somtimes...

Ideally I would have each circuit on its ow RCBO, Dual RCDs are a bit old hat. My Consumer unit is older hatter than that though. One RCD for the whole installation. (Well actually two - one for off peak and one for normal supply). hoh - no SPD in sight (except on a few devices including BT...

I find it rather strange that An "Electrician" had done thus!

Eeh, the groups back then were dressed in smart suits even though my Dad called the Beatles "those long haired nits" LOl. Dave Clark Five, Gerry and the Pacemakers. I think much changed with Glam. Marc Bolam, Bowie etc etc, I loved the 70s, left school in 71 so the 70s were my formative years...

Well my twice a week bacon or bacon and egg is twice a week only and if I make it myself it is grilled bacon and poached eggs, however if on a holiday/break it usually is fried bacon and fried eggs, I`ll be the first to admit that fried stuff tastes better but I try to think healthy, fried bread...

Kipton ! I was there tother day in Kipton, not far from me , them Stan pies have really gone downhill with a vengeance. And what the heck happened with SCAD a bit back?

Fried bread, really bad for you but yes on a breakfast. I usually treat myself to one per year. Well you gotta have things you like now and again to make life worth living. In fact I’ve just realised I am overdue that treat so next time I am having one. Another thing is it’s only right fried if...

And not to forget that PAT Testing reads as Portable Apliance Testing Testing which would be as silly as saying PIN Number which would be Personal Identification Number Number or TUC Congress being Trades Union Congress Congress! Who dreams up these words anyways?

an egg on its own needs a little salt but on a bacon egg sandwich there already more than enough in the bacon anyway so no salt added. your dad was right bout needing salt yes but usually we have more than enough, in really hot countries and drinking a lot of water you might actually need a...
