Hi,
I'm putting a new ring in kitchen and have read some conflicting advice about how isolators should be wired for under counter appliances, whether they should be wired into 13a switched FCU's or 20a DP switches feeding unswitched sockets. I don't mind which method I use as long it is fit for purpose.
I currently intend to install 3 x 20a DP switches into the new kitchen ring with a spur off each to double unswitched sockets which will power the following;
1. Dishwasher & Washing Machine
2. Fridge Freezer & Microwave
3. Tumbledryer & Gas Hob Ignition
Will any of this cause a problem - some posts say use a 20a DP switch with only a single socket? Is this because 2 13a appliances plugged in could potentially draw 26a through the 20 switch? If so how is this any different to having 2 appliances plugged into a 2-way adapter?
Advice appreciated!
