    help finding a regulation.

    I believe there is a regulation that states in so many words. For example: If you were to tap off a 32amp cooker circuit at the cooker outlet in 2.5mm to supply a single socket for the ignition. As long as the cable is fused within 3m of the C.S.A. reduction it is acceptable. A fella...
