When we were doing residential work we always installed a seperate ckt for the frig. We did large houses and many times HO's would buy large double door sub-zero monsters. Even when they didn't, we felt that was a good policy.

mbhydro is correct. In Canada, the fridge must be on a dedicated circuit...the only other thing you can add to it is a clock receptacle. Since 99.9% of clocks now are battery-operated quartz, clock receptacles are a thing of the past. However, I've installed clock receptacles in cabinet space for a microwave, so the unit can go back a bit further.

The latest trend I see among the upscalers is to have two side by side sub zero refers in a kitchen. As far as load, those big built in types don't really draw much more than the regular ones, but the intallation booklets supplied with the unit usually request a dedicated 15 or 20 amp circuit.

My house has the fridge on the same circuit as the kitchen. It is RCD protected. My freezer is on the circuit for the two front bedrooms , lounge & laundry also RCD protected. My beer fridge is plugged into the 15 amp welder socket outside (RCD protected)
