It is plastic.
Would you like to put money on that, looks very much like the metal unit to me.

Maybe, op is it plastic or metal the new board.Would you like to put money on that, looks very much like the metal unit to me.
That's what it looked like to me too. Is that acceptable to do? I have no idea what size fuse he has taken the supply from though.It looks like the "Electrician" has fe your new CU which contains modern up to date CBs from an Old style CU, don't go sticking your fingers in to the old box but have you any idea what size fuse he has taken the supply to the new CU from?
It was installed last week. What makes it non compliant? It looks plastic but I think it is actually metal. It says on the label that the housng conforms to b's en 61439-3 if that means anything to you?Yes sorry you did. You need to get the electrician back it should have been tested. When did he install that new board it looks non compliant to me.
Basically your electrician has used a BG 'garage' unit which Screwfix sell. Nothing wrong with them but there is clearly something wrong with the installation, you really need someone competent to check this through- in fact the bloke who did the work should have returned straight away instead of guessing the hob itself was faulty and causing you all that wasted time and effort !
Simple to say, a layman like yourself would find getting the information from a forum, not your fault, just make sure Mr Muppet comes and sorts your cooker out

I expect so Westy, bloke that did it probably don't know what AM 3 is

It looks plastic but it feels metal. Now I'm starting to doubt my own ability to tell what metal feels like. Lol (as the kids say)Maybe, op is it plastic or metal the new board.
It is a belling ct601 and I've tried every combination of buttons that I can think ofDoes the induction hob have a controls lock?
I.E press 2 buttons together to turn it on or are you doing that?
What make / model hob is it?
Tried that and it fell off. It still feels like it's metal though.Try sticking a magnetic on it.
Just Googled it and it probably is metal, odd magnet doesn't attach to it.Tried that and it fell off. It still feels like it's metal though.
The way this kitchen install is going I wouldn't be surprised if the magnet itself has forgotten what metal is. Thanks a lot for all your helpJust Googled it and it probably is metal, odd magnet doesn't attach to it.
No worries I think we would like to know an outcome at some point.The way this kitchen install is going I wouldn't be surprised if the magnet itself has forgotten what metal is. Thanks a lot for all your help
I'll definitely make sure I let you know what happens. Thanks againNo worries I think we would like to know an outcome at some point.
Sorry Dave, not used to using inferior boards so maybe I was incorrect, odd magnet doesn't stick though. I am currently beating myself with a stick.So W10, are you ready to admit you were wrong yet ?

The hobs display isn't lighting at all and it isn't tripping the circuit breaker. Have tested the cable with be of those cheap pens that you just hold near a cable and it flashes and beeps. When the 6amp circuit breaker is on it beeps, flick it off and it doesn't meaning that the MCB hasn't failed right?
The odd thing is that two identical hobs have been tried and neither will light up or anything.
Any ideas?
For the money they're actually a pretty decent unit, very sturdy.
I really do hope we find out the full story here.

PEG, do they have lectric on your planetIf one can never get to the details,regarding exactly what occurs,during one of my missuses shopping trips...then,i have to believe,this would be even harder,on a anonymous forum
Basic,human nature,is to extol our virtues and luck,yet guard with fervour,our mishaps and short-comings.
Am i guilty of the same? ...only if i'm human
dunno about lectric, but they must have some good hallolucigens.PEG, do they have lectric on your planet
Quiet.Quite Sunday afternoon, not much going on
They are a sturdy unit. Wouldn't trust the switchgear as far as I could chuck it and the supplied blanks don't comply though.
Right now would be dinner I'd say.
Hmmm debatable, the lid in the closed position is surely the 'fire barrier' - it even has a securing screw ?
If the blank was non-compliant what about the switchgear, that's mostly plastic ?
It's not the material or fire protection I'm on about.
Live parts must only be accessible with the use of a tool or key. These flip out with a finger far too easily leaving a gap bigger than IP2X.
416.2.1 and 416.2.4
Fair point Andy, although if anyone was then daft enough to wiggle a finger through the missing 'blank' hole there's still IP2X protection from the busbar shroud.
Correct answer.Right now would be dinner I'd say.
Now we are trespassing into unknown, dangerous lands. When you say "what do you want for Tea (dinner) love?", are you telling us that this is you uttering these words, and not your other half?I'll go by my Missus (she who must be obeyed) 'What do want for tea love?', we are talking 6.30 (that's 1830hrs). Argument over, as far as I'm concerned. Incidentally, its me that cooks the !?*$@:; dinner, I mean tea.
Now we are trespassing into unknown, dangerous lands. When you say "what do you want for Tea (dinner) love?", are you telling us that this is you uttering these words, and not your other half?
If this is the case, I think she might need to look at her job description??

Uh oh!
And whilst we are there @Midwest all you seem to do these days are cook and eat. Are you sure you're on the right forum, this isn't "eclecticfoodroom"!
Almost clever but not quite!
I would suspect that there is a failure and unlike the Hobs it can stand on 2 legs
This is ridiculous. As far as I can see, at no point, has anybody used a proper voltage tester to check if there is 230V at the connection point before the hob itself.
