    Kitchen fused spurs

    I'm having a new kitchen fitted... I realise it's a good idea to have accessible spurs for my appliances. Thing is I don't want the walls cluttered with spurs. Is there a maximum distance from switch to the appliance, like the idea of having the switches together, like on a grid may be. Thanks

    Grid Switches :: Spur

    Hi Installing a grid switch off the ring final circuit - supplying: fridge, dishwasher, gas hob ignition and cooker hood. I was thinking of spuring off the ring into a fuse grid module and then into each switch of the grid? Would you do this? Thanks in advance. Regards, David

    Rating plate on the side of an appliance.

    A three phase kitchen appliance is rated at 7.5kw. Now is this in total over the three phases or per phase? If over 3 phases then I guess that's 2.5kw per phase or 10.8amps per phase. The more I think about it the more I think it's over three phases.

    Fused plugs in UK, not in Europe!

    Hi All, In the Uk we accept that for protection of cables we use protective devices. We also have fused plugs, which for instance might be 3 amps on a low current using device such as a mains radio. The 3 amp fuse is going to be safer and offer a level of secuity to the radio, and maybe a simple...
