Thanks again.
Good idea with the 45A connection points then a back box for either connecting a socket face or an fcu but another slight problem is that there is nowhere to put any switched items as the cupboards are boxed in floor to ceiling so only option would be to place inside the top cupboard above the ovens or quite a distance away else where in the kitchen. What do you think?
Just wanted assuring about the induction hob really as they have stated a 2.5mm cable but at 7Kw then adding a treble socket outlet (pop up socket) if this was used at 3Kw that's 10Kw minus any diversity so in excess of 40A as you said I suppose I've answered my own question. Oh the pop up is a good quality one at £165 trade but only using this as the island unit has nowhere to put any other socket outlets unless it's in a cupboard again as its Quartz stone straight on top of units unless anyone has alternative suggestions I'm screwed really.?
Many thanks
The regs require clearly identifiable and accessible. But then the IET don't design kitchens. Sometimes you have to put the isolators in the best place possible but not ideal. So with some kitchen designs that sometimes has to be in a cupboard. Just make sure it's accessible by people other than giants, and not behind wall unit
accessories. Think it would be better closer to an appliances in a cupboard, rather than 6 metres away in another room IMO.
Ditch the pop up and have some sockets on the floor units, just below the worktop. Pops up just get in the way, when 'popped up', and don't think they look particular nice IMO.
PS don't put the isolator above the appliance, not useful if it starts to catch fire, and adjacent cupboard is better IMO.
