Hi All,

Current load on kitchen ring 32A MCB) is

Wishdosher, washing machine, tumble drier, fridge freezer, kettle,
toaster, microwave, I think thats most of the regular appliances.

I was wondering about moving say the wishdosher and washing machine
onto a radial.Â* I could easily reroute an unused 2.5mm T&E into the
kitchen and connect the other end to a new 16 or 20 A MCB (or have a
part P person do so).

What does the team think?

OK I don't have the tumble dryer, but I have the rest (and more) and
have never blown the MCB.


We had our kitchen refitted several years back and part of the package
included a CU upgrade and adding radials for extra oven, induction hob
etc. We've got radials for each oven (2), induction hob (1), the
dishwasher and a fridge, a freeze, plus the sockets etc on a shared ring
which also serves the dining room. The washing machine is elsewhere (in
a utility area). We've never had a problem. One oven is a 'combi'
(microwave +oven) - although we rarely use the uWave. We use a free
standing uWave to heat milk mainly for coffee etc.
