  • Electrics Help!
    Moved into the new place, has no oven.
    Before we remodel and update I need to buy and fit an electric cooker.
    Looking at the terminal box, it only has a Live and Neutral cable going in (1 red and 1 black)
    Obviously these are vintage.
    If I buy a new oven and fit it, it will have an earth cable.
    Will I die or burn my house down, or constantly trip the fuses, if I fit it?it's only for a few months until I get the house rewired and a new kitchen fitted (I say months, electrics is next on the list, so may only be a few weeks)

    Can't beat the thought of microwaved dinners for weeks (or worse, slow cooker...)

  • Show us a picture of the terminal box, your description sounds risky. It might be possible to rig a temporary by pass. Is there a 32 amp rcb in the fuse box?

  • @Airhead
    No idea about the RCB, I'm guessing the whole board is also ancient and shit.
    Going to swerve it and change the timeframe for getting the electrics sorted and make it more of a priority.

    Any recommendations for a sparky, willing to travel to Essex, full house rewire.
