    Replacing fused spur and hard wired kitchen appliance (fridge freezer) with a standard plug socket

    DIY'er here... After my fridge failed (less than 5 years old) I replaced with a new one. The old one was hard wired in a wall socket connected to a fused spur above the fridge. So I replaced the hard wired socket with a normal plug in one. When I switched the electric back on, the fused spur...

    Spur off 32a house socket form garage for 20a supply.

    Hi, if getting back to the CU is not an option, instead of spurring off a socket via a Sfs putting the rating down to 13a. Could you spur off the socket and take it down to 20a or 16a instead via a submain to allow for that extra kW if needed. If the cable size was sufficient for the length. For...

    Why can we use 2.5mm2 for a spur from either the CB or a point on the ring ? Why does this not have to be 4mm2 when using a 32A breaker ?
