Hi,
I am installing a washing machine and dryer with an occasional iron in the basement and need to install the sockets for these. I want to run a 3metre spur from the existing socket ring system on the ground floor. The appliances all used to be plugged into this ring system but now will run from the spur in the basement.
As the appliances are heavy load, I intend to use 2.5mm2 cable for the spur and to fuse the spur with a 13amp fuse. The cable will be clipped to the wall rather than running through plaster.
Is my proposed wiring safe? Will the fuse constantly blow? Should I just get a dedicated circuit installed for the basement?
thanks!
