Hello all, I am currently planning a job for q ne kitchen extension. Just want some guidance on the best practice for wiring an American style fridge freezer. In the past I have had a dedicated circuit for a f/f non RCD protected. With the 17th edition requirements is this no longer the best...
After returning from Greece after a two week break I found my Kitchen RCBO had tripped.:icon9:
However as I had the forsight to provide a dedicated circuit for the freezer all is well.:)
Why dont folk heed the advice and do this when having a rewire as a matter of course?

Hey guys just a quickie....
Undecided on what size breaker to use to feed SWA to garage (CCC 28A). Garage only has a light on a 6A MCB and a Radial on a 16A MCB, both protected by 63A / 30mA RCD mainswitch (the usual set up :D). More than likely that a F/Freezer is the only thing that will...
