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...
father In law grabs me and says
"now we've had our extension finished can you help with some outdoor sockets?, they have put an outdoor socket on the side, can you connect the sockets that feed the hot tub back up into it"
So on first glance there is an al weather IP rated twin socket on the...
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 there guys,
I'm a lowly gas man but thought I would put my hand out to you helpful electricians to see if there is a better way to do the following!
I work for a rather large gas service and repair company and health and safety as I'm sure you will know is going a bit bonkers at the...
x5 recessed desk sockets and leads all brand new
These are approx £80 for the socket unit and £10 for the lead you need for them
Need the space back so will sell cheap
Any offers?
Hi,

Hi,
Just moved into my new house and have a GreenBrook KingShield T205-C Fused Timer Spur Switch attached to the immersion and controls the hot water in the house. The immersion doesn't seem to be working either (by the way)
As it doesn't seem to be heating the water when I turn it to the...
I've just removed an old fused electrical heater fitted in the middle of the ring circuit and am now left with the hole and wiring (see pic). Ideally I want to just cover this up with a bit off plasterboard so it looks like nothing was ever there. Is it OK to do this or is this deemed unsafe? I...
Hi everyone,
Yesterday my sister switched on the bedroom light and all the lights o the top floor went out! there are six lights in total and none of them work at the moment. The lights on the bottom floor work and all the plug sockets on both floor's work fine too.
I know next to nothing about...
Hi,
My central heating wiring centre (Honeywell S Plan) is hanging off a 13a plug in the garage which is plugged into a double gang socket with integrated RCD at waist height close to where I would to fit a sink.
I'd like to move the wiring centre much higher up the wall so it is out of the...
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?
Now I completely understand why cables must be fused down when a lower size cable is connected to a larger sized cable. To ensure the cable does not burn out from current that it cannot take.
Yes i know this
Now current doesnt go anywhere it isnt in demand for so if a spur off of say a 6mm for...
Hello folks, I have just finished installing a WarmUp DWS600 loose wire system in my bathroom.
A little more on it here, but essentially it's rated at 0.6kW / 2.6 amps.

Adding an extractor fan off of a 6A lighting circuit.
Installation instructions specify a local isolator (as I would anyway) so 3 pole isolator will be used.
Switching L SL and N however should I have an FCU upstream of the live?
It would be 6A fused as specified which seems pointless the RCBO...
Got some coastal apartments which have a mixture of downlights, pendants and 5A round pin wall plugs all controlled by conventional light switches and everything is switch fed. OCPD is a B10 mcb which if I derated it to a B6, would still be over the 5A rating of the sockets and plugs. All the...
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...
Hello all,
I am looking to install an xpelair 12v fan in a bathroom with a humidity sensor (model no. 92970AW). I can't quite work out from the instruction manual whether the humidity sensor is in the fan itself or in the transformer. due to the size of the bathroom and the position of the bath...
Hi guys,
I understand that when you spur off a circuit if you have a 1 socket then you do not need to have it fused but if you have 2 or more it needs to be fused.
What is the principle behind this?
Thanks
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...
