I've just realised that my kitchen "appliance" radial circuit (4mm TWE) doe= s not need an RCD ! It is surface mounted through the undertairs cupboards, visible until at le= ast 50mm inside the ceiling, then surface wired all the way to the sockets = behind or in the cabinets. The circuit will have sockets for gas hob, cooker hood, washing machine and= waste disposal unit (we dont have a dish washer). The washing machine sock= et will be under the sink but at the top front to keep it away from the wat= er. The other sockes will be at the top back of the cabinets. None of these sockets are likely to be used for outside power - there is an= exterior socket available.
I have wired a dedicated non-RCD circuit for the fridge. Question is, do I forget this and save a space in the CU ?
