hey,
when the oven is on, and I can hear the heat level solenoid thing go on/off on the oven, my monitor turns off, and then back on again, same thing happens when my mum opens the oven to check the food on the inside , we're all on the ground floor ,but my PC/ monitor is plugged into a different ring than the worktop oven, there is no dedicated oven socket any more, because it is on the other side of the kitchen behind the fridge , when I had the downstairs refitted to cater to my disability by the council, they did not have enough money to move that socket because they had already gone over-budget by a lot, the electrics in the house have been checked and signed off twice by the council now since the work was done,
whatever it is does not trip the breaker box, and thankfully my PC is unnaffected
I'm thinking that the oven turning on and off is sending a small spike through the electrics, and my monitor's electrics are just a bit sensitive?
what do you think?
I'd love to find a way to stop it happening! is there something I could put between the socket, and the plug to smooth out a spike?
the monitor is a

thanks :)

Most ovens will be right at or over (usually not provided with a plug) the rating for a normal ring socket. Most places I've lived in have them on a separate circuit with like a 32a MCB, etc.

can't use the seperate cooker socket, as it is still tucked away, because they could not move it with the budget they had,
saying this, I do still have the cooker and the PC/monitor on seperate rings, so I have no idea why one ring is affecting another ring.

APC surge protector maybe the ones that have a battery.

but that depends if theres a power dip when the oven turns on/off maybe you could test it with a multimeter somehow



sometimes one of my old monitors would blink off when I turned my pc speakers on and off, maybe it's just poor shielding on the monitor :S

When the thermostat of the oven engages it sends power to the heating element, and if it's a fan oven element, most are at least 2000w.

Most hard wired ovens would be on their own radial circuit and should not have any impact on the rest of the circuits. Sounds like the council took a shortcut and plugged it into the kitchen socket where it'll be sharing the load of whatever circuit the oven is plugged in to. There are electricians out there that shouldn’t be electricians.

Sounds like your monitor is sensitive to the power surge/dips.

The switch/solenoid that turns the oven off/on might be putting out some EMI (electromagnetic interference) into the air, rather than through the power cables. Compressors in fridges often do the same. Try a properly shielded HDMI cable. I suspect the EMI is causing a very brief dropout of the HDMI signal which causes the monitor to have to re-do its HDMI handshake procedure which takes a second or two.

Above still applies if you use displayport instead of HDMI.
