    Safest way to add a fused spur?

    I have 3 cables going to a double socket (original socket in a new build, I haven't changed it). To spur off this and add an FCU I would've thought I would've had to obviously add a 4th. There are already 3 cores under each screw, feels like 4 might be 'cramming' which worries me. What's the...

    Why can't you take a spur from a spur?

    Don't worry, I'm not going to do it, but I got into a YouTube hole earlier and have become intrigued by electrical circuits! But this is confusing me. I get that, on a ring circuit, you can run a cable from a socket to create a new socket. But you can't then run a cable from that new socket...

    Spur from spur in bedroom

    I've recently had an electrician round to wire in some new sockets in the bedrooms. While looking at them today I believe he has just spured 1 socket and then spured to the next on the back wall. I can see the cables going from one socket to another so I know it is not tapped of a ring. Is there...

    Problems fitting Fused Timer Spur Switch

    I purchased a 7 day timer fused spur switch to replace a standard fused spur on a downstairs wc electric towel radiator. It seemed like it would be a simply swap out. However, it looks like the water supply earth bonding is connected into here and uses a thicker earth cable than the new spur...
