    By the way, when dealing with any electronic device like the transformer, they will have short circuit protection, the output will switch off in an overcurrent situation so that must be what is happening here. When you find that there is no output on the transformer, disconnect the load and turn the transformer off and on again.
    Same with any plug in power supplies, you may get 1-2V DC but that is the overcurrent protection reducing the voltage to reduce the current flowing to protect the load.

    I've actually had the motherboard on my own oven fail. It is well over 20 years old at this point. The repair man came, scratched off the defective trace, ran a jumper wire between the solder points and its been working fine since. Nice thing is, those old appliance all have wiring diagrams in them.

      I had the chuckle brothers out to do my kitchen, fitted my double oven (4.8 kW) on the ring spur. This was after id already asked for to to be installed separately, I had to email the idiot the relevant specs and highlighted not installed to code. Before he came and corrected it.
      I would have done it myself but my paper work is for low voltages and up to those that will stop your heart in a in a millisecond. It can take several hundreds or kilovolts in my field. I'm now having to make sure any EMF is within certain field strengths at all frequencies for general public safety.

    It's always the oven element or grill going down. Mine tripped the RCD several times until one day the oven element failed. Replaced element and never happened again until 3 years later. , it was the same problem. Another 3 years and again it went. So on the fourth time I bought a new oven .it was 20 years old. Not mentioned the grill element went once as well.

    Sticking a load of kitchen (semi-commercial) appliances on a split load board can always be problematic, as the appliances age the leakage goes up a little and starts causing problems.

    • @lordsummerisle87
      @lordsummerisle87 2 года назад +1

      Split load boards probably need to stop being a thing. Fair enough they made sense "back in the day" when RCDs were expensive and not all circuits had to be RCD protected but RCBOs are pretty cheap these days in the grand scheme of major electrical works like a rewire or board change. Going 100% RCBO prevents leakage issues from things like ovens (which are especially prone to leakage issues as they age) or PCs (which are often surprisingly leaky) from affecting other circuits and saves a little room in the CU, which can be used for something useful like adding a EV charger or a dedicated smoke detector circuit.
