Hi, Was thinking about fitting MK Grid switches in my kitchen. I have fridge and washing machine named switches.
Trouble Im having as they are on a kitchen ring. So wiring them is an absolute pain in the butt.
So I have the supply wires 1 in and 1 out.
Then the load wires 2 out.
I take it I will need to connect the supply together to maintain the ring?
So that would mean having 5 x 2.5mm cables in the rear.
They have supply at the tops and load at the bottoms. Then a small 2.5 connecting the supplies.
Not to mention all the earths.
The screws on them are not very robust either. Perhaps need tiny fingers and a lot of patience?.
Due to space and the fact that all wires are in the walls I cannot see a solution but to try fit them.
I could get 2 x 13A fused spurs and make my life a lot easier. Wife wants the grid switches though. They do look nice but are a pain to wire. 35mm back box with 2 grid switches.
