I think a problem possibly would arise though, if advise was given to customers that you can use the socket for 2 13amp items. And possibly due to a defect the socket causes a fire. The manufacturers state 13amp, and so does the bs number. I'm sticking to what I've always done - washing...

If a double socket was designed to take 13amp per socket Outlet - 26amp in total, why do they only test to 20amp? However I agree that each point has to be able to support 13amp on its own, but still I believe that the b1363 and th manufacturers mark the unit as capable of 13amp total.

The test current is to be larger than operating current under normal loads. Similar To a single socket being tested at 14amps, however the test current of 20amp for a double socket is higher due to the consideration that two appliances can be inserted. So if the max test current is 20amp...

BS1363-2:1995 requires for double socket outlets that both socket outlets have loads applied via test plugs, 1 test plug having a load of 14 amps whilst the other has a load of 6 amps, making a total load of 20 amps on the cable supplying the double socket outlet. The double socket outlet is...

4800/230 gives you 20 amp ish that you two machines e on their max output. So along as the breaker is rated correctly for the cable you intend to install, and this also meets your load requirements, then yup. Either a 2.5 ring, or a 4mm radial will be suffice for a 32amp breaker in most...
