now fogive me if iv missed something obvious here as i was ok until the dentist made me look like the elephant man, anyhow goes to what seemed like usual oven tripping, the electric hob an oven are both causing tripping both going with the same bang then trips out rcd, the bit that’s confusing me is the oven has its own plug??? the hob wire up to cooker point, their both wired independently from the other so why does turning on either cause the same blowing(bang) and tripping? even if its spur from cooker point(to hob) still wouldn’t cause banging? and if main feed to cooker point has a short wouldn’t it blow without appliances in use? just to add i dident fully investigate were the banging was coming from as i thought it might be time for calling it quits for the day as i assume i misse something simple due to being worse for were 😆
Re: oven hob tripping
Post the model number of oven, hob & someone may have come across what to look for on the specific appliances. Would’ve thought they should’nt be wired to plugs but on a 32A supply with double pole isolation, but again this is dependant on the type of appliances & what the installation instructions say.

to be fair, he does suggest only the oven is plug wired. cannot help on the problem though. as a wildcard though I have had a few instances of the hob cable being trapped by the back of the oven and over the years has rubbed through the insulation causing a short often when the oven is turned on due the the slight movement of he oven when this is done.
If its going of with a bang then surely there must be some evidence either visibly or when items are meggered.
