DIY'er here...
After my fridge failed (less than 5 years old) I replaced with a new one.
The old one was hard wired in a wall socket connected to a fused spur above the fridge.
So I replaced the hard wired socket with a normal plug in one.
When I switched the electric back on, the fused spur...
DIY'er question:
I have a singe switched fused spur above my kitchen counter, providing power to an undercounter fridge socket beneath it. The boss lady wants a socket installed there to move the toaster away from where it currently sits, because 'lady reasons'..
Is there any way I can swap...
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
Has anyone come across click accessories spurs burning out?
it seems to only be happening with the CNS200 Trend uk Steibel eltron heaters
Fuse is still fine just the spur itself is burning out had so many of these
Thanks in advance

Evening all, I’m looking to install an outside light as a spur from a socket on a ring main. There is already a spur from this socket supplying another socket on the other side of the wall. My question is, where can I apply the fused spur? Do I need to connect the fused spur before current spur...
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I just want to confirm:
Currently I have a spur leaving a socket in the bedroom, into a 13A Switched FCU and running up to power a double socket in the loft.
I now want to locate a socket in the old boiler cupboard/airing cupboard to power a tumble...
Hello all.
I have just bought my first house but it needs a bit of work.
I am re-wiring it and I've found the conservatory ring has been spurred off a socket in the house. I am also getting really low insulation resistance readings between L & CPC on the conservatory ring. I've located the...
Hi, can someone give me some advice RE completing a small works certificate for a fused spur coming from a ring final.
1) In part 2 of the AMD2 small works cert, its wants Zdb supplying the final circuit. Does this mean the Zs for the ring final that I measure or the MaxZs 32A MCB which is 1.1...
Hi all,
I recently bought a new house and I went to check the installation on my garage. There is a double socket and a fused switch (3A) which is connect to the light. When I opened this fused switch, I noticed it is actually a spur.
The way it is wired is that a SWA spur coming from the...
I've a 13a fused spur which is attached to single socket. The fused spur looks like it is used to power 2 security lights.
One night the breaker for my upstairs sockets tripped and after some investigation I discovered it was actually the fused spur in the garage that's causing it.
The socket...
Hi,
In the example pic, if the double socket was already a single spur off a socket in the ring main, as I understand you can only have a single spur per socket from a ring, could a fused 13A switched spur for a cooker hood be taken from the spurred double socket, or does this go against the...
Extremely newbie question here. I'm looking to remove a redundant electric fireplace heater - it's wired into a switched fused spur on the wall, which won't be used again after the heater's removed. The spur is always switched off, and I don't want to remove the actual box it's housed in. Both...
Hi all,
I have recently bought a house. The garage is at the end of the garden and has a double socket. The socket is on the ring and not a spur. It has 2 live, 2 neutral and 2 earths. It was basically falling off the wall so want to replace it.
The garage has no lighting so I want to fit a...
Hi
I've tried some intense googling on this subject but I think I have the terminology wrong and also don't understand it so can't get an answer.
Years ago an electrician installed a wall mounted TV for us and cut the plug off the TV connecting it into the wall I believe via a fused spur (?!)...
I wonder if any one can give me some advice. I live in a fairly new build house it's 11 years old.
In our kitchen there is a fused spur switch on wall above worktop and below is a socket that's connected to it this is where we have our Washing machine.
Over the other side of kitchen there is...
I'm revamping the kitchen electrics, 1980's property. Majority of the sockets have a couple of cables going in/out of them, with the only exceptions being a couple of sockets tee'd off fused spurs and fed by single cables. However, I'm perplexed by one area. By the side of the gas hob there was...
I'm sure this question has been asked to death, so apologies! But just wanted some direct confirmation that my intended wiring setup is going to be completely fine/not fine.
I'm currently planning on having my combi boiler relocated to a kitchen cupboard prior to a kitchen remodel. There is...
I plan on using a fused spur to route power to a workshop using 10mm2 SWA off a regular 13Amp ring main socket.
The workshop will have its own dedicated CU fitted.
My question is, what size fused spur switch should I be using? Is a 13A sufficient?
