Hi,
Can you advise please.
I am installing a grid switch with 3x20A switches - one for a dishwasher, one for a washing machine and one for a tumble dryer.
I have a 13A socket next to the grid switch location witch is on the ring main.
I am now trying to think of the best way to wire this up. These are my thoughts so far:
1 Take a spur off the ring main into the grid switch.
2 Connect the earth cable from the spur to the appliance earth feed cables using the earth terminal on the grid frame.
3 Connect the neutral cable from the spur via a terminal block in the backbox to the appliance feed cables
4 connect the line from the spur to each of the 20A switches with the line feed to each of the appliances.
Each appliance will be protected by a fuse in it's plug as each appliance feed wire will go to a separate socket into which the appliance will be plugged. I'm using 2.5mmsq twin & earth cable throughout.
IS THIS SAFE AND DOES IT ADHERE TO WIRING REGS?
Thanks for your replies.
