Grateful if someone could offer some advise, I'm struggling to find a definitive answer to this.
I have a double socket, it was on the ring main but due to short leads after decoration the ring was joined behind the socket using 3 way wagos and short leads run to the socket, so it's effectively...

Proposed:
A new UNSWITCHED 13A FCU will be inserted between the SOCKET on a ring and the SWITCHED 3A FCU (which protects the FAN to 3A). Then that...
Wiring cooker hood into a switched fuse spur with a 13amp fuse in the spur. The cooker hood is 3amp. Should I swap out the 13amp fuse in the spur with a 3 amp fuse?
Hi I have a switched fuse spur where the cooker hood should plug in to… above the actual cooker. I was wondering if I could swap this out for a 13amp single socket to plug the cooker hood in to. All help appreciated
Good Evening. I’m currently carrying out an EICR. I have a cooker circuit radial with a 32amp mcb fed from and RCD split board. There is a 45amp double pole switch fitted with a single socket on the plate. Fed in 6mm T+E.

DIYer question.
I have a 32 amp supply going from consumer unit in garage to kitchen. It supplies an induction hob only. The cable is easily accessible.
I need an additional socket in the garage - 13 amp max. The easiest and hopefully cheapest way to do this is to take a spur off the 32 amp...
Hello everyone,
We had an electrician over, who fitted a 40a MCB in the house consumer unit to supply a new build garage. It's underground SWA, in conduit also. He temporarily fitted a 2 gang socket so we could use power tools whilst we complete a fitout internally, although in that use case...
Ok. Can you cut a ring in half, add junction box, then run a spur off it? I thought it had to be from a socket?
Mate of mine wanted me to see if "a couple of wires were dead". Looks like old ring main, but they go in the wylex fusebox, so will have to check they are properly removed. Ends...

When wiring an electrical socket, having these as opposed to having multiple cables going into the holes in the socket...
Hi everyone, I've got an electrical ring circuit that looks somewhat like the drawing below, where the blue sockets are part of the main ring and the red socket is a spur.
I need to create a new socket, but the closest socket and the only one I have easy access to is the spur.
Is there any...
Hi there - good site.
Mrs wants a new socket directly below a light switch on the ground floor (says it will look neater vertically inline) spurred off the
downstairs ring, which all go up into that above ceiling/below floor space.
I gather I'm OK to do this as a (very experienced) DIYer? Or...
We have an outdoor socket that is hard wired into the ground floor power circuit and protected with an rcd in the consumer unit.
I now plan to add a spur from this outside socket via armoured cable to a new socket further down the garden.
