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.

    Thanks for all the advice guys.  Something related... builder has said he’s going to use the existing 10mm cable to power double oven (5.2kw) and induction hob (7.2kw) on a 45A mcd, is that ok?


    Looks fine to me - by the usual calculation a normal 32A circuit would be plenty. Just as long as the manufacturer's instructions don't demand lower rated protective devices.
