I am planning a new layout for our utility room and would appreciate some advice. We have three appliances (washer, dryer and freezer) that will sit under a worktop directly below the window. My intention is to feed this equipment via a row of three 13A fused spur switchplates located inside a...
hello I've seen the page at the back of the regs book but nothing explains can you -
Have a spured socket off the ring using one cable and then put a fused spur after the spur and then feed additional sockets after the spir
Hi,
Had a problem recently. Switch fused spur fed off ring main to control 6 x t8 5ft fluorescent tubes works when it wants, tried replacing fuses and tried a new spur, and keep getting the same problem. Its not overloading and havnt come across this before.
Any ideas??
Thanks
I wanted to know if a radial circuit that has a fused spur at the end of the circuit can then feed a double socket if I use a 13amp fuse in the fused spur? Also would that then have enough power to run a washer and maybe a chimney hood fan above a cooker hob?
Before I start, I know this is not usual but I want to know if it's against regs.
I'm testing a conservatory ring, feed from a fused spur. There's a Live-Neutral IR fault between two of the three sockets.
The cable is embedded in the conservatory bare block wall.
If I just disconnect the faulty...
Query regarding a Passive RCD fused spur unit protecting a bank of 4 led downlights supplied via switched live and nuetral. I have been asked to replace the downlights. Cant be totally sure but i think RCD spur was to protect the (addition)of the downlights. The rcd is passive so will remain...
Hello, need to run a supply to a tyre air line at a petrol station. No info on it but think its probably around a kilowatt, definitely not over 3kw.
Should probably be on its own dedicated circuit, but going to cost more.
There is a socket inside that I could spur off and save alot of extra...
I need to work on a board with no RCD protection. Rewiring kitchen lighting and adding downlights. Is it acceptable to install a 30mA RCD spur unit at the consumer unit, feed the spur direct from the MCB, fuse the load side at 13A (Leaving the 5A MCB protecting the circuit) and use this for the...
Hi guys,
whats the regs regarding fused spurs?
Is it ok to have, from the ring main, a fcu, feeding another fcu, feeding another fcu etc or is it only one fcu per socket like a normal spur?

Hi
Ive been searching everywhere to confirm with regulations that you are able to install a fused spur outlet off the downstairs ring for an electric fire (which is only to be used for the flame effect it provides not for heating as have central heating) and a LED Driver for a strip light...
Ive carried out an Electrical condition report recently and found that the main switched fuse isolator for the installation has control wires running through it from a control unit mounted above the isolator to contactors mounted below the isolator. The control wires are 230V. Im sure ive read...
Morning chaps

He tells me the spur is red hot to touch and also a few months back a socket melted in his garage...
Hello all,
i have been to a job to price up fitting a replacement towel rail and change light fitting in a very small cloakroom with a toilet and basin. The fcu for the t rail is above the skirting but underneath the sink. In my opinion I feel that the fcu should be moved to outside the...
I've got a switched fused spur which feeds another switched fused spur - a bit pointless so I want to remove one.
I realise I could just fit a blanking plate and join the wires inside the box but I would prefer to bury the cable inside the wall and plaster over.
What is the correct procedure...
Hi everyone was looking for some advice on a job that I looked at last night. The house has a new boiler being installed which needs a supply to it. There is an existing cooker switch wired in 6mm on a 30A fuse going to a single socket which the electric oven is plugged into. There is also a...
