    Fused spur burn out

    Any thoughts as to why a fused spur connected correctly would burn out and melt the unit? Surely if it is pulling too much current (which is possible as it was feeding a socket used for car charging) the 13amp fuse in the unit would have blown before it got too hot and melted.

    Spur from ring

    Hi all, Apologies if this has already been posted but I can’t find the answer. It is considered ok to be able to install a socket outlet spurred from a 32A ring. Would it be considered ok to install one single socket directly from the 32A MCB in 2.5 T&E. One socket straight from the MCB...

I want to make this area usable and move the coffee machine (1kw, assuming 4.5amps) and baby steriliser (600w assuming 3amps) to that area without making huge modifications to the electrics. The current kitchen...

    Why does RCD trip when fused spur switched on

    I was called out last night to an RCD trip issue. I found that switching on the fused spur to the washing machine would cause the trip & I could only reset the RCD after switching it off. Straightforward up to that point, but after unplugging the washing machine, then disconnecting the spur...

    Ireland Exterior socket plus switch controlled light on existing spur

    I want to replace an existing sensor activated exterior light with a RCD socket and a switch controlled light. Is this OK to do. So interrupt existing wire with RCD. Connect top outlet of RCD to external light switch. Connect bulkhead light to light switch?

    UK Spur blowing RCD

    I'm trying to connect a spur to an existing outlet but when I use an appliance on the spur socket the rcd trips. I've tested the rcd and it has 19 amps capacity which is as expected. I've also tried connecting to a different socket on the same rcd and it also trips. What I don't understand is...

    Is this odd . . . . or Not??

    I am a first user to the forum. Hopefully you can put my mind at rest. Quick description of problem. I have a three-bedroomed semi-detached house built in 1964, thankfully, with plastic sheathed cable. Recently a 32mp breaker tripped which ran all the sockets in that part of the house...

    Replacing a 2g socket with a FCU

    Hi. I have just bought a house which has a semi converted garage which would be perfect as my workshop. Currently there is one 2g socket available with a single T&E cable and it is likely that this is a spur from a socket the other side of the wall. I really need more sockets, probably five or...

    Fused spur for under counter socket

    Hi, I'm currently looking at moving a socket so it's under the worktop for a washing machine in the kitchen, however I need to be able to switch off the socket. Am I right in thinking that I need to fit a fused spur above the worktop in order to do this?

    Is it compulsory to use the flex outlet on a fused spur?

    Hi all, BS1363 Switch fused spur with flex outlet has been installed. But the installer hasn't used the flex outlet, they've used singles in conduit and the cable grips are still in place on the spur. However the client has challenged this, implying it should be changed out to a standard spur...
