[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 466000, member: 1607"] The fuses are there to protect the cables and the accessories. All switches have a maximum current they can safely carry, if the circuits do not have correct fuses fitted, make sure you have the fire brigade on speed dial. (have a google about the statistics of house fires started due to electrical faults). Sounds like you employed incompetent persons to do the kitchen refurbishment. No one in their right mind would wire three appliances you mentioned via a single 13A fused spur. If you cannot afford to get it wired correctly then the solution is to only run one appliance at a time. As the Duck says each of those appliances can typically be drawings 10A+. Which is why they each have their own 13A fused in the pre fitted plug they come with. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
