How would you split these loads?

If you could rearrange the circuits to have separate upstairs and downstairs power rings, then have upstairs lighitng and downstairs power on RCD A and downstairs lighting and upstairs power on RCD B.

Ideally I would, I was surprised to find only one ring for all the sockets, I just havent yet worked out the routing of the RF

Put the shed radial on an RCBO not off one of the RCBs.
fair comment! though I know the integrity of this is sound, I installed it myself:cool:

Put in a cooker circuit in case you/someone wants leccy cooking at a later date.
Cooker circuit is already there (6mm), its just been extended to the pantry for the fridge/freezer on 2.5mm and will be on a 16A

I'm not used to doing domestic works, so am just a bit jumpy about having everything on (albeit 2) RCD's, what with 3 fridges and a tumble dryer! I guess these things can be a bit leaky!

I'll split it up to get ballanced loading, see how it works out

Thanks for the advice

:rolleyes:

Nowt wrong with that, homeboy.

2.5mm on a 16A OPD is fine.

Not really a DIY job then if you're a commercial/industrial sparky!?

How did you end up splitting the circuits?
