[QUOTE="UNG, post: 560135, member: 8931"] So the spec for that cooker says 35amp and to trip a 40A breaker you would at least 60 - 70A as a minimum and it would probably take a while to trip for an instantaneous trip you would need a lot higher amperage flowing So that leaves the usual suspect could it be an RCD that is tripping ( a picture the board and an indication of what is tripping would help), from past experience with electric cookers and RCD's they are not a good mix especially as the cooker ages and I have seen the ocassional new cooker have problems possibly due to being stored in a cold / damp warehouse prior to despatch From what you have said so far I doubt your electrician is up to finding the fault I would suggest you find another electrician that can [/QUOTE]
