perspicacious:
I suppose that the overloading could occur in say a commercial kitchen in a restaurant or pub.
The Regulation is not referring to the total load but for typical poor design where the CU is in the kitchen or utility room and the route of the cable calls in first to heavy loading and then wanders off round the house (or rest of room) before returning to CU.
Do we have rings in commercial kitchens?
At this stage, I am going to retire with terminal embarrassment. Double socket in utility room about 4 ft from CU. Washing machine and tumble drier plugged in.
