Hi. So I attached the picture of current installation, plug for washing machine and dryer, cable (no ground) that goes to a 20A breaker then cable goes to kitchen plugs (from here there is ground) then goes to electric box.

 

As you can see only the Line cable goes through the breaker, why not the neutral too?

 

I will change for an IP66 plug box and cable with ground to my kitchen plugs cable.

I can't add a dedicated cable from this balcony plugs to the electric box.

 

Is the 20A breaker really necessary? Maybe necessary because there is not a dedicated cable for those 2 appliances.

 

Thanks for your help

I think 20A is way too much. And possible that socket is not built for 20A. Is there another breaker in the breaker box for the same cable?

 

Breakers (MCB) use normally only one cable. RCBOs use two cables in an out.

I suggest with your current knowledge don't mess around with electrical installations yourslelf.

If you do it wrong, you or other people could die!

This plug will be changed for a new one 16A.

Washing machine and dryer are total 3200 watt.

I can see HACO have 16A breaker.

 

Yes there is RCBO 30ma in the electric box for the kitchen and the balcony.

 

Yeah I won't do crazy changes, just trying to make a little bit safer some stuff, 3 months ago none of the plugs where connected to the ground now they are.
