Yup. That is the 1.

If you completely make new extension and wiring, It is best to use 1 10mm wiring to the kitchen. Put a DB box at the kitchen. Than distribute what ever 3pin socket or switch you want.

Rather tarik many many wire to the kitchen.

Hi Ozak, please advise how to add another DB box at kitchen? Is it possible? Cost?

Thanks

This 1 you need to ask the electrician.

Of course it is possible to have another DB box in kitchen or anywhere.

For the cost, you have to do the calculation. Many wire running to the kitchen vs  1bigger wire + DB cost.

If the cost not much diff, I would rather choose to hav another DB box at kitchen, no need to hack...

Possible cheaper too. If the wire cost is different a lot. It is left the workmanship cost.

So, means that there will be one thicker wire run from the original DB box to the new DB box?
Or, else where shld the input for the new DB box? FYI, my house is using underground cables by TNB...

You need two thick wires for live and neutral, one earth, and use 4mm for earth to reduce the resistance.
