Overloaded cable, or not ?

[Evans Electric]

I've noticed that with cookers  ....every screw head in the book  just to connect .  

AND  the last two  , the connection boxes were undersized for the 6.00 mm cable.      I thought those days had long gone .

I repair cookers and it’s quite common to find those plastic connection boxes to have melted!!  I personally think a cooker should have proper nut and bolt type terminal block like they always used to.

Probably only a couple of pence, but thats still biting into the profit

Remember that profit is much more important than safety or quality.
