Hello I'm after so ideas of the best way to supply a kitchen island.


orginally I was told the island had a 13amp pop up socket and also LED lights around the plinth so was going to put a switch fuse on the kitchen wall with a 2.5 cable feeding a double socket in the cupboard of the island.

Now I'm told there is a 2500 watt dishwasher going in the island so I'm worried that the circuit will become overloaded if the dishwasher is on and the pop up socket is in use.

could I swap the switch fuse for 32 amp DP switch have both legs of the ring running into it and 2 new legs out of the load side feeding 2 double sockets in the island?

i want to do it this way as I want to be able to isolate the island of need be.

thanks
 
Could you extend the ring to grid switches on the wall, then run individually isolated and fused sockets from that to underneath the unit?
If it's a new property it should be easy enough to run a separately switched feed with a neutral from the existing switch, under the floor and up under the unit behind the plinth, with the driver hidden somewhere; bearing in mind the island sockets will need to be accessible could you hide the driver here?
