appliances in kitchen having seperate switching eg by fused spur

Rather you than me using a 9 gang grid switch. Never mind looping the 9 DP switches to keep the ring intact you’ll have 33 other cores to deal with. (Including CPC’s).

That's a fair comment. I only have experience with 4's and they are a challange for me

And
The poor wifey in the kitchen would be spending all her time switching on those myriad of appliances and no time left to get the dinner ready on time,tut tut

We need the Jetson’s kitchen appliances, one central control panel!

Sunday lunch:

• Button 1, joint levitates to the oven
• Button 2, vegetables prepare themselves
• Button 3, Auntie Bessie emerges from the cupboard and mixes fresh Yorkshire pudding batter.
• I’ll leave the rest to you!

But! If it’s English designed, I’ll bet the gravy scalds when it’s poured in your lap!

those are exactly the points Im getting at Tony Also the amount of appliances and power use in the kitchen has gone way up since the " kitchen ring" came into beeing Iv seen the wife have 2 rings the oven the washing machine ,dishwasher and kettle going then she decides to stick on a slice of toast for the wean Had to turn the central heating down ffs
If I was redoing the kitchen Id almost be tempted to put a 16mm submain in and a small c.u. with rads for appliances in the kitchen

I did it 20 over years ago. Saved a lot of trouble and work, but at the time unconventional, but who gives a sh*t, I didn’t, 14[SUP]th[/SUP] again!

Des and John, I’ll get my own back!

It’s done in galvanised with BILL Royal switches if you don’t mind! Re-wireable fuses for every outlet! The sockets are all metalclad Niphan 32A. With a BICC EC2 outlet for the cooker.

The switchboard took a bit of getting under the stairs but GEC MiniForm is quite compact!

Hi guys, can anyone point to the building reg about appliances in the kitchen having a seperate switching, e.g washing machine under a worktop- socket under the worktop supplied from fused spur above. Thanks.

Answer is in the electricians guide to the building reg, green book, don't know what page as can't be arsed to empty the van to find the book, but says something along the lines of as long as appliance can be moved then there is no need for seperate switching.

P61, vii and viii are the ones to read, BUT I don't agree with vii as I've seen many that can't simply be pulled out!
