    UK Fused Spur To Workshop

    I plan on using a fused spur to route power to a workshop using 10mm2 SWA off a regular 13Amp ring main socket. The workshop will have its own dedicated CU fitted. My question is, what size fused spur switch should I be using? Is a 13A sufficient?

    3a FSU downstream of a spur socket from RFC - compliant?

    Have a 3a FSU that feeds an adjacent WC light and fan, wired from a socket that is a spur. Even though we all know that it's safe (no different to having a 3a plug top in the socket), can't quite make up my mind if it's compliant or not. Thoughts?

    Cannot have a Spur off a spur but can use an extension lead?

    Probably a stupid question but why is it that you cannot (I think) run a spur off a spur but can connect an extension lead with loads of sockets on it?
