Number of appliances on one radial line

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Hello all,  I would really like some advice/reassurance.  We are having our kitchen done and the existing wiring is a radial line.  The builders are installing a 2.5mm TE line which services a double socket (coffee machine), dishwasher, boiling water tap and washer dryer.


My concern is that a single radial line is insufficient for the loading s involved.


I would really appreciate your thoughts.

    If it is a new circuit, I cannot see any good reason not to use 4 mm² cable on a 32 A breaker. This assumes that the cable is not hidden deep in insulation in a stud wall, etc.
