So what now.

Gas oven died. Money tight. A fan oven second hand fits the gap and the price fits the budget. I borrowed the test gear and it is sound.The house has never had an electric oven so there is no supply to it. It did have an electric shower that got changed to a mixer to avoid being electrocuted by the idiot install that was downright dangerous.I *am* removing the cabling to that circuit from the fuse box. I *am* replacing the 16A breaker with a 32A. I'll chase through a proper 2.5mm cable and mark up the breaker box. The oven wants a 20A wired in supply and that's no problem either. What I'm about to run into is Part-p. I've rewired houses. I've done nightclub lighting systems. 3 phase fails to scare me beyond a healthy respect for staying alive and being damned careful. I've read through a lot of stuff this evening. It seems that to run this cable and change the breaker to a 32A, I need to be 'competent'. I have a certificate somewhere from some IEEE accredited training place that says I can do work to 16th edition. I've not really had to do that kind of thing for a decade. I'd 'retrospectively' fit this connection and point out that 'it had always been there' if it wasn't for the minor problem that I've run out of 2.5mm 27A rated T&A. I have to fit on the new colours. What do I do to get it OK'd and who do I contact?Warwick

So what now.

Bollocks. I've have absolutely no problem with the concept of thermal inertial. Understanding this doesn't actually make it any less tedious to deal with though.

cheers, clive

But good cooks know not to, unless stuck in the middle of nowhere. As cookers go theyre the worst.
