Will this be acceptable or should it be split into 2 circuits?


Well, I would not be happy having all this on one circuit, even a 32A ring.
Also, it doesn't allow for RCD protection.

I would at least divide into 2 circuits.

1. NOT RCD protected for fridge/freezer/dishwasher/washing machine/oven/hob.
2. RCD protected for everything else.


NO! unless the whole house is RCD protected by 100mA. You MUST have a
trip on the appliances as these are he most likely things to develop an
earth leakage problem. Agreed this is not normally a shock problem
unless the metalwork gets de-earthed by e.g. corrsion.

Personally, in a similar situation I have 3 circuits.

1. 16A MCB radial for fridge/freezer only.
2. 32A MCB radial for washing machine/dishwasher/tumble dryer.
3. 32A RCBO ring for sockets and the oven.

Ive got it another way, single 32A protected on house 100mA for all
sockets and applinaces

Single 45A for cooker, agreed its a full leccy cooker.

I would NEVER run any metal cased appliance without some form of RCD.
Loose earth wire and then a fault and your dead.

Ideally I would have one ring for appliances (below counter) and one for
sockets (above counter) with RCBO on each...
