[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 561323, member: 250"] I would never have considered a fridge or freezer to be a high power hungry consumption appliance..? as the compressor is never working 100%, 24/7. 365days of the year!! Nor would I call a 2kWatt heater a massive load... ( I think the wife's hair-drier is over 2kWatt rating??) Back in my younger days the old three-bar, 3kWatt electric fire, was common place just plugged into any convenient socket!!!! Plus I think we had a 3kWatt fan-heater at my moms house...? So assuming the switched fuse spur is 13Amp suppling sockets fed by 2.5mm T&E.. Then I would just go ahead and plug the stuff in.. See how it all works in reality... Worst case is that the 13A fuse in the FCU may pop... But my gut feeling is that it won't!? Sorry... Forgot to say.. Welcome to the Forumbulator.. :)(y)🍻 Good question, well described..... Far too often we get poor half truth, missing detail questions....... That people then get the hump when we ask for more detail so as to give a half accurate answer!! [/QUOTE]
