We're looking at getting a new kitchen installed and are looking at integrated appliances. We're limited for space on the fuse board and I'm looking at potential layouts etc.
No intention of tackling the electrics myself, just planning at the moment.
Does the following appliance layout/connection set up seem right?
1. Cooker - in built single oven on the circuit of the old cooker
2. Microwave - integated oven/microwave combi unit. Manufacturer's data requires plug connection so off a plug socket on the socket ring main?
3. Fridge - integrated. On socket ring.
4. Dishwasher - integrated. On socket ring.
5. Hood - 3A spur. It's easiest to provide this at high level. Would a JB from the lighting circuit work? If not, where are these generally powered from?
6. Hob - Electric induction hob. Manufacturer's data requires plug connection so off a plug socket on the socket ring main?
Reading through everything it seems that 'splitting' the cooker from one unit with two ovens and one hob to three separate units is putting a lot of load on the sockets. (All of the sockets in the house, including the kitchen are on the same 32A ring).
Thoughts much appreciated.
