Hi guys, I currently bought two commercial freezers, they are running on plug socket 32amp. I already have a mains ring circuit running. I have dedicated only two sockets two gang. One double socket for both freezer and separate single door freezer on other plug. Is this okay? Or should I put them on all single sockets each??

 
So sorry, it’s. 13amp fuse. I’ve got it mixed up with RCd fuse.

Will both freezers take the load on one plug? Or do I need to separate them at all

 
So in answer to your original question, if they both have standard 13A plugs, then using the double socket you mention is probably OK - but beware that if the RCD trips, both units will lose power

Hope this helps

 
So what would you recommend.

Running them on single radial line? Or maybe using isolators each.?

I would recommend you consult a local spark .......... only a site visit could really answer the question properly AND no isolators for each isn't a good idea either
