Installing new kitchen that has all integrated appliances compared to freestanding for the old one. Existing kitchen appliances were connected to the downstairs ring via cuboard mounted sockets. I intend to disconnect these sockets from the ring and run a new dedicated circuit from the CU for the large appliances only.
This would be with 20amp DP switches above the worktop to single sockets under the worktop, 1 per appliance for isolation (except for the FF). I`d then leave the existing ring "as is" for above worktop socket use, for stuff like kettle, toaster, fryer, etc.
The new appliance only circuit runs from the CU via a 32amp mcb and would feed a Tumble Dryer, Dishwasher, Single Oven, Side by Side Fridge Freezer, and Washing machine. Single oven is not the main use oven, the setup uses twin ovens, the main oven is rated much higher and on the cooker circuit with hob.
My Question is, does this sound ok, if so would you run it as a 2.5mm ring, or a 4mm radial?
Thanks
