Hi all. I'm currently trying to add a socket in an upstairs room from the master socket. At the master socket there is a 4 core cable where Orange goes to A and White goes to B and green and orange are cut back. At the slave there are 6 junctions with a 4 core cable with orange, white, blue and...
I've just looked at a place where as part of other work, it makes sense to move the phone sockets around. My question is:
The master socket is being fed directly from the street pole, no other JB in the circuit. Can I interrupt that cable, divert it elsewhere by extending it, then from off of...

I saw this online and the math used is much more precise than the cosecant method for bending

I saw this reference article on precision;

might be too much math for electricians??
the master trips out when the power goes out, won't go back on until power is back on, but have to turn off every fuse on board to get Master to reset when power returns, and then reset each fuse individually... huzb also a sparks - fuse board safe, just ancient.

I am to install x 2 13a dp fcu for a salon master water heating system.
Do they need to be on seperate mcbs or is it ok to be on same ring. Do they need to be on RCCB side of board or would this cause nuisance trip problems.
Long story short, I want to know if having click cieling roses above a plastered cieling with each one feeding say 4 lights and boards above that can be lifted but its a hassle. Is it against regulations, if so could you please quote the regulation.
Thank you in advance.

Hi chaps...
Sorry basic stuff but been a long while since I've had to do much phone wiring.
I am right in thinking I can wire all my extension points back to the master socket ?
Or do I have to daisy chain of each extension to the next ?
I'm sure both methods work but first one would be...
