[QUOTE="Den123, post: 1169453, member: 13454"] While I completely understand and agree with Marantz123 on the above, I believe there is additional explanation required. The front end of the SMPS is a non-linear rectifier. This will cause distortion of the current drawn from the supply, low frequency odd order harmonics. If the hob uses thyristor conduction angle for simple temperature control, then messing with the current waveform can and will have a serious impact on the performance of the phase control circuit of the hob. Moving to another phase solves the hob issue, but doesn’t fix the problem in the home. I have seen light dimmers do funny things because of this. And of course, our beloved Hi-fi could well be influenced if on the same phase, or sharing a neutral. [/QUOTE]
