Is there Deta Smart Switches for fridge and washing machines?

Is there Deta Smart Switches for fridge and washing machines?

I'm thinking of upgrading my plugs to Deta. Smart Swtiches. 

 

But can I upgrade the plugs used for fridges/washing machine/dryer/dishwasher?

 

I understand that these white goods runs >10 amp. And the Deta Smart Switch only support up to 10A.

 

Thank you!

Re: Is there Deta Smart Switches for fridge and washing machines?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Zac1928. It's great to have you join us and many thanks for your question on Deta smart switches.

 

As far as I understand, a standard powerpoint has a max of 10amps, the same as the DETA White Gloss Grid Connect Smart Double Touch PowerPoint. However, you've mentioned switches in your post, so was your enquiry about the DETA White Gloss Grid Connect Smart Single Gang Touch Light Switch? I also note you've mentioned plugs, so it might be the DETA Grid Connect Smart Rewireable Plug.

All of the Grid Connect powerpoints, switches and plugs are 10amp. If your appliances run greater than 10amps, this sounds like a question best posed to an electrician.

 

Let me tag @CSParnell to see if he has any thoughts.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
