Lost all electric

[JohnD]

I have a feeling it could be the time-to-disconnect curves for the Service Cartridge Fuse vs. the Rewirable, but not something I've got to hand. I think he said the conductors touched on his unsecured cable end.

I think he said the conductors touched on his unsecured cable end.

At this point i have not connected the cooker and inadvertantly swithched the cooker switch, resulting in a loud bang and the house in darkness.

i know the cause which was the cooker wire ends shorting out

So I'm at a loss...

I took it that he'd fixed a cable to the CCU, but the other other was flying rather than being connected to the cooker, and that's where the short was.

 

[hopeful and expectant]

yeah, i had fixed 6mm cable to the cooker switch and left the other end bare which then shorted out, i know now of my mistakes was lucky i didnt hurt anyone and jeez i have learnt a lesson!!

Sorry - I have absolutely no idea why I took

I fitted 6mm twin and earth to the cooker using blue as neutral, brown as live, and green yellow as earth.

to mean that you had fitted the cable to the cooker.
