Sorry to say steve, you are wrong.
If it is an LCD or Plasma, as we are led to believe, the tranny in these is bound to trip a B6 on switch on. It reallly is.
He does also say he is going to use a round pin unfused socket, which is better than fitting a 13amp to the circuit, but still a rubbish design for a TV.
13amp sockets on a lighting circuit is an awfull circuit design - a DIY bodge.
Lectrician,
Just tried a 17in LCD, with DVD Player also Digibox, all lights on upstairs, total load not including TV 3A.
6A B Type Mcb, TV operates no problem!!!!!
Good for you - glad you had the spare time.
I can assure you some, if not most larger LCD and Plasma TV's will trip a B6.
Been there, seen it.
Someone fitted screens to a huge clothing outlet. 2 LCD's on a lighting cct. Turning the lights on (yep, a few flourescent too) tripped a B10!
My lounge TV also causes my light to dip when first turned on. It is on the ring, as you would expect. I would put money on it tripping a B6 if I tried.
END OF STORY - A 13amp socket on a 6amp circuit - COMPLETE BODGE!
