Hi everyone,
Several years ago I was up against the same problem. The existing kitchen ring, serving three double socket outlets, was intact but they wanted extra sockets beneath their new worktops also. I ran a further ring of three double sockets from the cooker point and changed the 45 amp rewireable fuse for a 32 amp mcb. Now, since I work in security, unlike the professionals on here, I need some confirmation. Their built-in electric oven needs changing, and since the replacement is 88 watts (about 4 amps I make it), they want to plug it in where the existing is now plugged in on a 13amp. Can we leave Part P for the time being ? Given that they are running a fridge and washing machine only off this ring (including the oven - of course), I am persuaded that the new oven should be terminated at a fused spur (not spurred off the ring, but changing the double socket to a spur and socket) and reducing the 32 amp mcb to 20 amp purely as a safety feature. Your comments would be appreciated... and I won't take them personally.. well I might !!!
