[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 312459, member: 250"] That is precisely the point I was trying to make with my posts... the actual figures for these "domestic fridges" are that small that even a basic 2.5mm radial with a 16A will be no issue... But the OP... Apparently designing a circuit couldn't even do a bit of basic maths to work out a rough daily consumption from the yearly running figures! Which TBH does worry me when electricians struggle to design simple things... What happens if we were designing a circuit for a kitchen with... 12A Washing machine 13A Tumble drier 10A Kettle 12A Toaster 3A Bread machine 5A Microwave 10A Dishwasher.. + loads of other <2A hand held appliances.. Are we going to install cables for 65A+ ???? Its not about using standard diversity calculations... its just bog standard common sense diversity based on a few simple calcs for some Domestic appliances.. It shouldn't be too complex to grasp should it??. I mean we are not talking about a whole bunch of industrial grade equipment are we? p.s. our fridge came with a 13A fuse in the plug! [/QUOTE]
