Hi,
I have just had a new 10 way consumer unit with 2RCD's installed. The supply to the Kitchen uses 2 MCB's. The 40amp MCB is directly connected to the built in single oven using 4mm T&E, and a 32amp MCB supplies the kitchen ring main for the following appliances:
Kettle, Toaster, Microwave, Combi Boiler, Cooker Hood, Gas Cooker Ignition, Washine Machine, Tall Fridge and worktop sockets.
My electrician says that it is fine for all these appliances to run on the 32amp ring, but i'm a little bit concerned. Wouldn't this be a huge load for the 32amp MCB?
Thanks,
