HI,
I am currently about to start a rewire in my house and am having some queries for the kitchen appliances. On a lot of new properties there seems to be a set of switches that switch the fridge, washer, dryer and cooker and then just have fixed fused sockets behind or in place for each appliance. The best place for me to mount this would be with in 1 metre of the kitchen sink but I have found nothing in the regulations stating how close you can have sockets to the kitchen sink, so any advice on this.
Also I thought it was best practice to run all ring main cables vertically down the walls but from looking at various diagrams it also seems feasible that you can run cables horizontally (along the workbench 150mm high) any advice there guys?
And last, what to do next???
I have currently just sat my 16the edition and passed no problem, I am now currently thinking of either doing my C&G 2391 (inspection, Testing and certification of electrical installations) or my Part P. What would the real sparks suggest that i do, any advice??
Thanks
