Hello
I have just had a new consumer unit fitted and all existing wiring connected by the electrician. Now i need to rewire the kitchen and would be grateful of any advice.
1. I understand that appliances under worktops need an FCU connected above the worktop to isolate the appliances. Can i use one FCU for both the washer and dishwasher?
2. Do the FCU's need to be a specified distance above worktops, away from hobs, cooker hoods etc?
3. Are FCU's ok to be spured from the new ring?
4. Where should i ideally take the power feeds from for:
a) cooker hood
b) extractor fan
c) outside light
d) underfloor heating
Many thanks
