How do you split your loads?

[Gage]

GenerallyI live in a large home, so I usually split my loads in 3, the washing machine runs all day!

^^^^^^ I would have done the same with the kitchen ring, so in case you loose the downstairs ring, you will still have some sockets downstairs. (Im assuming the kitchen is downstairs).

agreed and this is what I used to do. But then when you start considering lighting circuits etc, split over them 2 rcds, you can't end up with it being split well?
its hard for me to explain but now I,
have the kitchen on its own mcb, but still have this in the same rcd as downstairs, then over the rcds I split sockets and lighting circuits up, so something is always on.

Lights on one RCD, sockets on the other. Fault on sockets, still got light. Fault on lights, plug a lamp in. Cooker straight out the back of the main switch so I get me dinner regardless.

Might be but there's no difinitave answer.

Separate lights
separate up and down power
keep down power and kitchen power separate
keep kitchen power and cooker separate

hope your rewire goes well

Thanks all, seems like you lot all sing from the same sheet! Ill bear this in mind and adjust the split accordingly.

Why change it, there is nothing "wrong" with the way it is configured now.

That almost makes using a split load board pointless!
