    Fused spur tv connection how to disconnect

    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 (?!)...

    Three 2.5 t&e feeding a socket and a fused spur

    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...

    UK Fused Spur To Workshop

    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?

    UK Lighting and socket off one fused spur

    Hello, just wanting to know if I can take a fused spur off my ring main and take it to one outdoor socket as well as an outdoor light. Or weather I’d need to fit 2 fused spurs. So one goes from the ring to the socket. Then another fused spur from the outdoor socket to the lights? Cheers

    Fused switch with two feeds but no load?

    Hello, I have a 13A fuse switch in my airing cupboard that has never done anything. I thought maybe years ago it was for an electric shower but there was no wiring in the bathroom when I re fitted it so can't be that. Upon opening the switch there are two sets of wires, 2xred(L), 2xblack(N) and...

    Fused spur burn out

    Any thoughts as to why a fused spur connected correctly would burn out and melt the unit? Surely if it is pulling too much current (which is possible as it was feeding a socket used for car charging) the 13amp fuse in the unit would have blown before it got too hot and melted.

    Why does RCD trip when fused spur switched on

    I was called out last night to an RCD trip issue. I found that switching on the fused spur to the washing machine would cause the trip & I could only reset the RCD after switching it off. Straightforward up to that point, but after unplugging the washing machine, then disconnecting the spur...

    Replacing a 2g socket with a FCU

    Hi. I have just bought a house which has a semi converted garage which would be perfect as my workshop. Currently there is one 2g socket available with a single T&E cable and it is likely that this is a spur from a socket the other side of the wall. I really need more sockets, probably five or...

    Fused spur for under counter socket

    Hi, I'm currently looking at moving a socket so it's under the worktop for a washing machine in the kitchen, however I need to be able to switch off the socket. Am I right in thinking that I need to fit a fused spur above the worktop in order to do this?

    Is it compulsory to use the flex outlet on a fused spur?

    Hi all, BS1363 Switch fused spur with flex outlet has been installed. But the installer hasn't used the flex outlet, they've used singles in conduit and the cable grips are still in place on the spur. However the client has challenged this, implying it should be changed out to a standard spur...
