In a new build , I have noticed how the Sparks that have wired the house (4 bed 3 storey town house)
They have put the kitchen appliances sockets/kitchen worktop sockets/boiler fcu/1st floor sockets/2nd floor sockets on a 32A ring and the ground floor sockets only 4 sockets on another 32A ring.
personally I would of kept the kitchen ring separate from any other sockets, even worktop/appliances separate
and each floor on its own ring in an ideal world, separate circuit boiler fcu etc etc
I know they do things on the cheap to get these houses up.
Does anyone knows the regulation on keeping the kitchen ring separate from other sockets due to
loading , is there one? or can they get away with wiring like this
i also noticed the Sparks have used a Megger electrical cert and client has no cert back from building control to certify the electrical works
