Hi Gents,
I've recently built an extension onto my mums house... bedroom, wet roon and kitchen. 3 double sockets in bedroom and 4 double sockets in kitchen above worktops... all on a 2.5mm single ring to a Starbreaker CU. Originally all the apliances (combined fridge/freezer and washing machine) were going to be free standing but now she's now decided integrated under worktop appliances would be nice... bless her. So I've chopped in a Volex 4 gang grid swithch and 4 single sockets in the block wall under the worktop in a corner unit where I can plug the appliances in. (I'm going to cut an access in the back of the unit)
We're looking at a fridge, freezer, washing machine and 2kw plinth heater. My question is would it be best practice to run a radial in 4mm to the Starbreaker CU and have all 4 on a dedicated circuit rather than chop in to and extend the ring main... which I've been told I could do. If I extended the ring main it just seems to be a heavy load at one spot in the ring.
Thank, Dave.
