Can I connect all the appliances in the kitchen from a separate cable?
Making repairs in the kitchen! Need advice on wiring! The option to pull all the wires from the meter is not possible, the box is very small and the repairs in the corridor and in the bathroom are done. But at one time one wire was pulled with a separate machine gun. Of course, only washing outlets, microwave ovens and a kettle are provided in the kitchen. Will it be possible to put an automatic machine on this wire more powerful, and in the kitchen make a box with a divorce for all new appliances, of course with an automatic machine for each or in pairs? Devices will be 8 pcs.
Hello! First, you must determine what section this wire, aluminum or copper? According to these parameters, a suitable machine is selected, you can not just change the machine to a larger nominal, because when overloaded, it will not work, and your wire will melt and a fire will occur, then you yourself understand what could happen. You also need to calculate the total power consumption of all your kitchen appliances. If the cable can withstand no more than 5 kW, and you have 10 kW devices, you will have to turn everything on in turn so that the machine does not work. When installing electrical wiring in the kitchen, one cable (or two, if there is a separate group to the light) to the junction box of the desired cross section, and then from the distribution box, conduct a smaller cable to each socket or block of outlets, is already wound up.
A separate additional cable is carried out except on the electric oven and hob.
