just been out on an emergency job for the neighbour

anyway...now that we have discovered that fuses protect things...im still trying to figure out why someone thought a drop of 6mm was suitable for a washer

I reckon that was there for something else their big fail was lack of fused spur on the end of it

Anything can be connected to any size cable as long as the cable and the load are correctly protected.
I can connect a 60W lamp to a 95mm sq 5 core SWA on an MCCB with no RCD, with the lamp wired in 1mm sq flex in the right circumstances with the correct circuit design.

-it would be nice to just stick to the post in question and people offer the remedy without going off at a tangent quoting various regulations and posts-that are irelevant to the said post

 

[Sidewinder]

Not really irrelevant though is it, it's the same scenario, a smaller load can be connected to a large supply if it's done correctly.

Our fridgefreezer, dishwasher, washer and tumble drier are all hardwired in under the worktop with fused switched gangplates above the countertop, if there is a problem we can isolate the machine without dragging it out to get to the socket.

its called a ring main or a radial with 13 amp -sockets and plugs fitted -and fused down correctly to suit the apliance

Seems to me there is more friction between the leccies on the forum than that between Rtech and non Rtech users...

the other method is mount sockets in adjasent cupboards so they can be easily isolated without having a load of switches above the worktop

do you mean sparks are going to fly

It's not actually a ring main, it's a ring final circuit.
A ring main, is wholly a water supply term officially these days.
Keep up please!

-friction = rub each other up the wrong way

When you teach the stuff, you must keep up with the current terms!

Would that include the appropriate use of smileys?
