In my kitchen there is a "Socket On Off" switch in the same console as the cooker master on/off switch. The cooker switch is almost always off.
An extension lead to the "Socket On/Off" switch has the following appliances attached
1. 14.5w low energy lamp
2. Microwave over 650 W output
3. Microwave oven 850 W output
4. Electric kettle "2500 - 3000 kW"
5. Toaster "965 -1150 W"
I suspect that in total the above exceeds the safe load limit for the socket so I try never to have all appliances switched on simultaneously. Could someone please tell me how near the limit I am - or even if I would exceed it - so that I can work out what combination of appliances can in fact be run simultaneously. [The electric kettle is obviously the key component] Tks
