Hi all is there a regulation stating how many white good appliances allowed on a 32a Ring. Had another discussion with a fellow electrician stating that maximum 4 x 2kw load white good appliances on one ring, but he could not quote the regulation think this is just his own preference. As he was carrying out EICRs and was finding W/M, T/D, D/W, Micro/grill all on same ring. All rated at 2kw or slightly above but ring also having fridge and your general kitchen stuff kettle and toaster etc. These are on new build houses. But have looked through and cant find regulation on this ? Thanks in advance.

I don't think you will find one, if you do it's news to me.

It must be a personal preference thing.

Unless they are all at the same point on a ring installed in such a way that it could potentially overload one leg.
 
Yeah that’s what got me as well. I don’t think there is a reg for it just preference. And yeah 4 appliances is prob max could have at 2kw each as if have more appliances on the ring chances of tripping out increases ? Can’t see all the appliances listed above to be on at all the same time pulling full load so diversity will apply would think ?
