Hi, I am replacing my kitchen and adding a number of new sockets to the existing ring (which runs on a 20amp trip), to run appliances etc.
I'm worried about the potential of overloading the circuit by having all of the appliances (washer/dryer, dishwasher and fridge/freezer) on the same circuit. Although this is how it currently runs (i.e. all on the same circuit), the new appliances are 'heavier-duty', e.g. a big American fridge freezer and a washer/dryer.
Is it possible (and safe) to add a single socket to the cooker circuit, as a spur from the oven connection unit - I'm thinking that this could run the fridge/freezer, to take the load off of the 20amp circuit?
