Re: Help In Buying Switches

[Pelect 3]

If you want to be safe and precise, find out first what is the power consumption (kW) for each of the device.

I think you also should see if the cable install can handle the load.. For example 2.5 mm2 cable can only withstand 16-18 A.

I also recommend CCM.. Very good price imo.... Even brand like schneider is quite reasonable... Bought Schneider Pieno Series socket and switch for my whole house.. Cost around 300+... Could be cheaper if not for the dimmer unit... each dimmer unit cost $42/- and I bought 4

Hi all,

I needed help again.

My kitchen had a 2 x 13a socket point.

I think my electrician had tap supply from there to another create 3 x 1 Gang for microwave, oven & hood.

As I worried that normal 1 gang switch might not be able to handle individually, so I had bought 3 x 20ax double pole switch (Legrand) aka as water heater switch instead.

May I know is this safe for this setup combination and can the "water heater switch" be use for the 3 appliances above instead of normal 1gang switch ?

TIA...
