I am in the process of doing some kitchen renovations and need to put a socket in for a drier and washing machine.
I know in an ideal scenario the best bet would be to extend the ring main which is definitely easier said than done but I was unsure if it was too much load for a spur?
Hence I went and got 3 quotes for the work to be done. 1 chappie said I needed a ring main extension. one chap said it would be fine just on a fused spur. I did query him as to whether the fuse would blow . And the final chap said just a normal spur with 30A cable would be okay.
I did the old P=VI trick but then realised the peak draw when the things start off is more than there actualy rating on the back.
If any friendly spark could clarify what i should do then I would really appreciate it
