Wiring commercial fridges 32amp on plug

[Zee20]

Hi guys, I currently bought two commercial freezers, they are running on plug socket 32amp. I already have a mains ring circuit running. I have dedicated only two sockets two gang. One double socket for both freezer and separate single door freezer on other plug. Is this okay? Or should I put them on all single sockets each??

when you say they are running on "plug socket 32A" - do you mean the commando type socket?

What make and model of freezers are they?

 

[Zee20]

It’s normal plug with 32amp fuse, not sure of the freezer name.

If its a standard 13A plug the maximum fuse is 13A ................. 

Why do you think its a 32A fuse in the plug?

So sorry, it’s. 13amp fuse. I’ve got it mixed up with RCd fuse.

Will both freezers take the load on one plug? Or do I need to separate them at all

So in answer to your original question, if they both have standard 13A plugs, then using the double socket you mention is probably OK - but beware that if the RCD trips, both units will lose power

Hope this helps

So what would you recommend.

Running them on single radial line? Or maybe using isolators each.?

I would recommend you consult a local spark .......... only a site visit could really answer the question properly AND no isolators for each isn't a good idea either

Ok thank you so much for your time.

a commercial fridge will have a rating plate..... if you find it, post a photo of it and hopefully we can help further
