? But I stated running a new single 32A circuit, from a spare 32a MCB, either radial or ringmain. There is not any other spare space fopr additional MCBs. Absolute maximum total load of everything appliance wise would be 8650w (37.6A), typical load is less then half that. The existing...

Installing new kitchen that has all integrated appliances compared to freestanding for the old one. Existing kitchen appliances were connected to the downstairs ring via cuboard mounted sockets. I intend to disconnect these sockets from the ring and run a new dedicated circuit from the CU for...

Thanks for the replay, but you don`t really address the post contents, other then replace the CU (its new and was not even mentioned as a problem) and that its notifiable work.... One oven is a 13amp pintop anyway, so why would I put that on a 20amp dedicated MCB when it could go on the...

Due to a last minute change of appliances for new kitchen, ended up with a different brand of ovens which are now more curren hungry. I`ve 2 single ovens to install, 1 being a combi, one a standard, and a hob - rated as follows: Oven 1 - 2900w Oven 2 - 3600w Hob - 5900w Existing...

Cheers all :)

The Megaman range of GU10 CFLs will fit into almost all downlighters. I`ve used these in quite a few fittings now, including fixed firehood versions. If it helps, when looking for the fittings see if the cap (part they "screw" into with cables attached) is physically fixed to the lamp case...

Just a quick Question re cable size. Currently the downstairs (including kitchen) is all on one ring main. As am installing a new kitchen that needs the existing sockets to be relocated, I was going to split the ring so the kitchen was on its own 32amp mcb. My question is this - rather...

Take it you`ve never used an induction hob then!

Yeap, I did think of doing it that way, but intrestingly both the combi oven and the standard oven both have moulded plugs! Thats why I suggested the original idea of using FCUs. The ratings quoted are stated in the manuals as the absolute maximum total load. For example if using the combi...

Just after a bit of info if thats ok! Having read earlier posts, there seems to be conflicting ways of doing what I need, hence the post. In the process of a new kitchen, and the new design will have 2 single ovens (a microwave combi and a standard oven), and a electric hob. Rated as follows...

No other comments?

:P DUCTS, not ducks!

I thought this also, from having seen shop fittings where the sockets are flush installed into the slotboard - which is just metaline coated MDF! however, bit of difference with a 350watt TV and a 7.6kw oven! With the oven housings being built to withstand the heat of the applicance, I...

Hi, Am in the process of a new kitchen layout, and need some advice. The new layout has a bank of full height units against one wall up to a doorway. The Oven housing will be the one nearest the doorway. As these are full height units, its not possible to have the Cooker Control Switch on...
