ok so something else has now come up in working this out... the oven is rated at 15a and the hob at 30a. The MCB it's connected to is only 32a. The fuse board has the old Centaur Type 1 M4.5's.
I know the oven won't be at full tilt along with all 5 induction rings on max at the same but will...
Hi all. Hope you are well.
So my dad has just bought a new induction oven. He already has an electric oven under it which appears that it is hardwired from 6mm T&E that literally just comes out of the wall 🤦🏻♂️
the new induction hob has 5 wires (which obviously has doubled up lives and...
Hi all. I've just bought a cupboard push switch to turn the cupboard lights on when I open the door.
It's just a single in-line switch in a plastic housing.
The switch will be switching 240v mains taken from the lighting circuit but what are you thoughts... should I wire and switch the live...

Wish I'd never...

No that's me. I'm doing some bits myself but not the stuff that needs to be signed off. I'm chasing walls and digging channels because some of them I have to before fitting the units.
The oven isolator I'm having gold sockets and don't really want a giant oven switch ruining the aesthetics...
If everyone did that these forums would be like a ghost town.
Plus I like to get a number of opinions rather than just one. It's amazing how something that could be very black and white has so many differing opinions.
Thanks all.
So I just bought a 2 gang 45a oven isolator switch in preparation to have it installed. However looking at it there is only a feed and single set of supply terminals. Would have thought it would have two sets of supply terminals or are they designed to just run two sets of cables...
