I=P/v amps =9500 devided by 240 do the math.

i think the washer m/c needs its own fused switched spur.Mount a 2 pole 20 amp fused s/w above the work top,connect this fused s/w into the existing kitchen ring circuit,a single non switched 13 amp outlet is then fed off this to behind the washer m/c.These need to be in such a position as to...

im pretty sure they should be on a seperate supply not through the rcd the cables dont have to be ran seperate like fire alarm systems it can be ordinary twin and earth or 3 core and earth fo interconnecting between alarms each alarm has to be inter connected to each other alarm so as they will...

i think it may need a seperate supply not on the rcd circuit.

in my apartment the fridge washer and tumble are all next to each other,they are wired with a socket behind each appliance.The new regs would need for these sockets to be able to be isolated without removing the appliances.I couldn't wire a socket in the next cupboard in this instance.

I haven't wired a kitchen in years,reading the new regs am i to believe that for every under counter power point i have now to wire it back to an isolating switch fuse unit mounted 150 mm above the counter,is this written in stone.

there is an amendment to the regs implemented september 2005. Embedded wiring must also be protected e.g. by conduit against harmful substances present in plaster or concrete - see 522.5.3.I dont know if the outer cover of twin and earth is protection enough.

the regs here have been recently updated so that cable must be protected from the corrosive effects of concrete or plaster,is the grey pvc covering on twin and earth protection enough for this or do we now need plastic conduit for vertical or horizontal runs
