    FCU from ring

    Hi, Is this correct? You should put the FCU into the ring main, (so extend the ring in other words) or is it still okay to take a spur from a socket in the ring to the FCU, and then feed something else? Get my meaning? I was always told to put the FCU into the ring and then spur from that. What...

    FCU and Led under-counter light problem

    Hi all, having a problem on a job... Using a switched FCU to control some LED under-cabinet strip lights. Customer reported that the lights were staying on after the FCU had been switched off.

    Outside Light on a switch with separate FCU for PIR

    Apologies if this scenario has already been posted but I am unable to find it. Came across a the above circuit yesterday as it was tripping an RCD. Feed seems to be coming from a Porch light. This is controlled by a switch in the hallway. Feed comes down to the back of the FCU near the CU and...

    spurring from a FCU to another FCU?

    Evening all.. I was wondering what people thought of spurring from a FCU (from the supply side) which itself is already a spur from the ring? I know we can only take one spur from a socket outlet on a ring, but that spur is alowed to feed a double socket which could take up to 26A. The above...

    fcu

    do we have to install fcu above worktops for washing machines etc on new builds if the client has requested that they don't want them. Is it just good practice, I can't find anything in the wiring regs but I am aware of it in electricians guide to part p, but is this just a guide or is it...

    Why is an FCU max. 13A.

    I was at a customer's yesterday who wanted three double sockets added to a room which currently only has one double socket which is spurred off the ring. I explained that we couldn't spur off the spur as the first spur can only take 27A, so suggested that the solution would be to replace the...

    Hello All Fitting a new kitchen and trying to avoid too many switches/ limited space above the work tops. One option is to connect the Fridge freezer and a wine cooler from the same 13A FCU. Very few options to put a plug/ socket anywhere in the adjacent cupboards as they are all occupied by...

    Bathroom on old FCU, implications of new dual-RCD CU

    Hi, I have moved my bathroom and the BCO said it needed a fan as would be classed as new, whereas the kitchen, on the other side of the moved wall, would not, so fair enough I suppose. I digress. He said to get a Spark in to certify the fan. I'm wondering what I can get away without a Spark's...

    Spur from FCU

    Hey guys, im confused about the allowed number of outlet sockets supplied from a FCU connected to a ring main 2.5mm cable 32a MCB. I always thought it was unlimited because in the OSG page 68 it says "The number of socket outlets which may be supplied by a fused spur is unlimited". But in...
