I've been planning to update my kitchen for some time now and I’ve hit a hurdle when it comes to the electrics. Currently, they're a complete mess; I could have done better when I was 10 years old.
I've been lurking around the forum for a while searching for various things and seem to get conflicting results.
I need a safe way of wiring the following...
American style Fridge Freezer
Washing Machine
Tumble Dryer
Dish Washer
Free Standing Gas Cooker
Extractor Hood
5x 13AMP 2G Sockets
I've come up with the following so far...
Fridge Freezer
C/U - 20AMP MCB Radial Circuit - Fridge Freezer (on FCU?) with 2.5mm or 4mm? (15m total circuit length)
Washing Machine & Tumble Dryer
C/U - 32AMP MCB Ring Circuit - Washing Machine & Tumble Dryer (on FCUs?) with 2.5mm or 4mm? (35m total circuit length)
Cooker & Hood
C/U - 32AMP MCB Radial Circuit - Cooker & Hood (on FCUs?) with 6mm or 10mm? (18m total circuit length)
Sockets & Dish Washer
C/U - 32AMP MCB Ring Circuit - Sockets & Dish Washer (on FCU?) with 2.5mm or 4mm? (45m total circuit length)
With most of these appliances requiring a lot of power I thought this way would be best, but I’m not an expert and I’m unsure on the cable diameters etc..
Can 4mm T&E be used for a ring circuit?
Can anyone help me with this? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
