Folks,
I'm about to turn a playroom in my house into a kitchen. I am planning a semi-free standing central console, and so I want to run a spur under the floor to the centre of the room off the main ring circuit, and then embed an electric socket in the floor underneath the console. I was planning a floor socket like
As this is a kitchen floor, should I protect the socket with an RCD for safety, in case of spillages?
In addition I was going to run a dedicated spur from the main fuse box for an oven, and use an FCU to protect it. Are there any issues (other than ensuring the wire and fuse are no overloaded), with adding the extractor fan and gas hob ignition to this spur, each with their own FCU, or must I spur these off the main ring too?
Cheers,
MOL.
