Every heavy appliance on its own circuit
The AREI requires a separate circuit for your hob, oven, washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher, each with its own breaker in the consumer unit. That way your fuse won't trip when two appliances are running at once. Ahmed runs the cable in neatly and labels the circuit in the unit.
- A separate circuit for each hob, oven, washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher
- Its own breaker and RCD on every circuit
- Labelled circuits in the consumer unit
- Any appliance drawing 2,600 W or more gets its own circuit, no exceptions
