Hi all
Kitchen wiring works again. Am trying to "predict" where sockets will be required/desirable (even though SWMBO hasn't signed off on my layout plans yet!).
This brings a few questions to mind which would be useful to resolve (don't have on-site-guide to hand unfortunately).
Some time ago ISTR, the permitted distance between a wall socket and the sink was something like 1 metre. Also IIRC this was found to be generally unworkable.
So my questions are:
How close can a socket be to a sink? Are there specific requirements re depth of buried power/lighting cables? Am I right in thinking that cooker cable has to be buried 50mm or put in earthed conduit? Can an electric hob be above a dishwasher or above to one side of said dishwasher?
Are there any other proximity issues to be wary of?
Does sink need an earth taking back to the CU or is equipotential local bonding the order of the day in kitchens?
TIA
Phil
