Thanks for the reply.... all the grid set ups seem to be the norm in new builds these days. Plenty of call outs then if that's a common occurrence then!
I take it yourself and Des56 like the accessories on show..... option 1 & 2 out of the question on your kitchen installs then?
Would your preferred preference be 6 way grid on show or 6 x d/p switches or switched fused spurs scattered around above worktop controlling appliances?

Your right it's only minor detail...
(It) was the worked out value and (Iz) was the value taken from the tables in appendix 4 to get the cable size, which I thought was the other way around.
Cheers anyway Biff :-)
