[QUOTE="Prof Spudd, post: 520011, member: 34175"] Men/women/everybody I have a hob installation whereby power arrives via a safety/control box mounted in "the void". The hob is a CDA 6.9Kw with the the 4 wires (2 live). The control box/safety box is manufactured in Estonia. 3 wires enter in the usual manner followed by some Estonian twattery and then 4 wires emerge. All good so far, but this is the standard set up in the 300 bed student accommodation where so far this year, more than 10 of these twatboxes have malfunctioned. A learned local electrician has quoted £600 per unit to rectify this. Cheeky cheeky. My question is.....can anybody think of a good reason why we can't just swap the Estonian box of doom for a standard JB and swap all the hobs for standard 3 wire 4 ring ceramics with built in time/temp safety cutouts ????? Cost ..........£150 per room plus the bonus of telling the learned electrician to burger off. [/QUOTE]
