Kitchen Circuits

Thing is, if the freezer is the only thing on the circuit... aside from installation damage, the only thing that's going to trip the RCBO is a fault on the freezer itself - so that's why I think it's pointless having to go surface or spend extra on installing conduit or special cables etc.

When on a general circuit, it's 99% going to be something else that trips the RCD protecting the circuit that the freezer is on. That's what I feel I'm protecting the freezer against with a dedicated circuit... and if the freezer manages enough earth leakage to trip it's RCBO... it's obviously faulty and wants disconnecting anyway.

in the 19th eddition every socket will have to be on its own radial and every room light will have its own mcircuit every other circuit will be radials with no spurring off allowed all sockets 4mm lighting 2.5mm showers 16mm and ovens ,hobs seperate circuits of 10mm with built in cookers 16mm earthing 16mm
even turning power off will require a MWC and changing a socket light evt even "like for like" will require bringing full installation up to the new regs
NO diy store to sell electrical equipment every house to have full electrical certification before getting insurance
IF the government took it this way there wouldnt be any out oif work electricians and whole salers wouldnt be closing down all over the place

some deserve it, their prices vary to much, watchdog should investigate them
