Washing Machines!!

Hi,

Iv one Large heavy-duty 9.5kg whirlpool washing machine, a standard washing maching and a large 10kg heavy-duty tumble dryer. Cant find any amp readings on them and just wondering would they be ok on 1 circuit without an rcd??

Thanks in advance.

Do they have 13a plug tops fitted which may give a clue to the max load. load plates are sometimes fitted to the inside edge of the door

Ya, The 3 of them have standard plug tops. Would it be ok to take them off the RCD? They are wired surface and on tray. Thanks

All socket outlets intended for general use need to be RCD protected.

Well the only things that can be on the circuit are the 3machines as its a dry-cleaners so does that make any difference??

If they are correctly labeled as to their use then the RCD can be omitted.

Correctly labeled as in "Washing Machines Only" ??
