Kitchen re-wire

[LeckyBill]

Doing my first kitchen re-wire, the customer wants the fridge, dishwasher and washing machine in one switch (grid, with engraved text) as they are rated at 20A do I need a seprate fuse unit, the switch will supply a normal single socket not switched

Thnx

If each 20amp double pole switch is serving only one single socket outlet, there is no need to fuse down.

If this is using a single sized back box, i wish you luck terminating all those cables into those 3 grid switches...lol!!!

are you running dedicated supplies for these.? i take it your not spuring off the ring.! if there dedicated you wont need fuses in isolator.. but as diferent supplies in one accesory remember your warning labels.!

i would feed the grid switches with a 4mm radial, 32A MCB, separate from the RFC. use a deep (35mm ) back box.

um no, if you have a 35mm2 double gang metal flush knockout box in the wall with a 3 gang yolk and grid plate comprising of 3 20 amp double pole switches fed from the ring and then legs out to single sockets for the 3 appliances you won't need a seperate spur unit.

I agree this would be ideal but I can't say I've seen anyone go this trouble yet.
At best a separate ring for the kitchen (with appliances spurred off that) but normally just all off the ground floor ring. Would you object to someone doing that?
