Safety Device Isolation Options for Induction Hobs

Shaun Scholes

I'm currently producing feasibility studies for replacement hobs within student accommodation. The replacement of the hob is straight forward enough, but the client has is looking for additional safety devices to isolate the hobs if a problem should arise. This will be alongside isolation switches above the counter and also RCBOs at the DB. The initial idea this:

I don't have much confidence in the information on this product. Claiming that the battery will last 10 years, and that there is no need for monthly testing.

If anyone has any advice on this product or similar, or even another method I'd like to hear it.

Thanks

    Probably nit picking, but I would prefer something better than an adhesive pad to secure the unit inside a cooker hood. Perhaps OK with a brand new cooker hood, but with the inevitable grease after a few weeks, I would worry in case it fell into my soup...

    Also, on page 21 of the instructions, it says "Do not use in a professional kitchen". (Too much flambe perhaps?) Also, the warranty is only for private households and housing associations.
