I see nobody followed Ban all sheds lead..but what a good debate. Shame about the cats getting away. You can do the EAL Level 2 Certificate in Electrical Installation and (according to NICIEC) you can then self certify even if not otherwise qualified. So if that doesnt prove its all just a...

thanks...the NICEIC say they have introduced a EALLevel 2Certificate for Domestic ElectricalInstallers that anyone can do (and self certify).Thats not my main objective of course as safety is top of anyone'slist.However,doesnt seem to be anybody doing the course.Seems like alot to doif we havre...

What do people think is the best way for a DIYer to get appropriately 'qualified', without this being their full time job..are ther any alternatives to doing the Electrical Installer route. Most stuff seems geared to new apprentices going into the industry and adult education seems to stop at...

You need to check the outputs for the cooker and hob. Often cookers (without hob) now come fitted with a 13 amp plug..its the hob that needs the higher fuse rating. Check the cabling for the cooker and the fuse rating for the hob. If the hob needs (say) 30 amp's i.e. is about 7kw max output and...

brown-nought, great feedback and thanks. Just what I wanted. I might have to ask the wife about potential for using all plates (ha). I was going to run just the hob on this circuit (and your right, rather than isolating fuse, I meant a dedicated cooker connection unit. I also have a cooker (13...

Ok, I have checked up on diversity now. What a great forum. I dont think this applies as this will be a single appliance on a radial circuit? i.e. if all 4 hob plates are on there will be 7kw. So I am with the 30 amp estimate at present.....

Interesting difference of opinion 40 amp or 20 amp. I thought that was simple! the model is a P604IX Hob. It has no cable fitted. The instructions (as I say rubbish) say 'connect cable' !) and yes its got 4 hob plates (better than calling them rings as previously I think) totalling 7kw As I...

sorry make that 4 rings

Question for the experts. I made a recent post re electrical appliances. One of which is an Indesit hob. Product literature is rubbish 'ensure a fuse of the correct rating is fitted'. i know some basic physics. Amps = Watts/Volts. Max rating is 7000W (3 rings with 2x2kw and 2x1.5kw). So my basic...

Your right, thanks...cooker and extractor are 13 amps. I think I'll get fused switches for the cooker and extractor and run a new radial circuit, leaving the existing cooker outlet (already wired) for the hob, or if anyone gets a higher output cooker later. Thanks!

Hi. I have new 13amp rated cooker, plus hob and extractor. Existing fitting is 30 amp rated on radial. I can extend ring main, but do not want plugs on show. Whats the best/easiest way to run to fused/isolating switch. Can I run appliance cables direct to fused switch(es) and connect switch to...
