    Next door neighbour mains spurred, pre-meter off my main fuse!

    Semi-detached next door house mains supplied from my property pre-meter off main fuse. I cannot get a smart meter as main fuse cannot be pulled by non DNO electrician. This arrangement has been confirmed as not a revenue dodge (ie running feed to garden shed, extension etc). We confirmed the...

    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...

    2 gang extension plugged into spurred socket

    I recently spurred a double socket off the ring main to wall mount the TV and sky q mini box. I have now added a soundbar so need another socket. So if I understand this correctly I’m only allowed to spur one socket from the ring. If I added a 13 amp fused switch before my spurred socket I could...

    Double socket spurred off of Ring.

    Ok so I'd like your opinions on this as I seem to be the minority on this. I'm fairly newly qualified and obviously still learning everyday. Electricians I work with and everywhere on the web says that spurring a double socket from another that is on a ring final circuit is fine, as long as...

    Ring spurred at origin?

    Hi all, DIYer here. My garage has a double socket fed by 4mm2 twin and earth connected to the same circuit breaker has the ring main for the sockets upstairs in the house. The MCB is a B32. Is the feed in the garage considered a spur from the ring main or is it a separate radial circuit...

    Cooker wiring dilemma

    A house renovation, including kitchen extension, all plastered out with a 10mm twin+e feed in place for the 7.3kw induction hob. The single oven and the combi microwave should have been spurred from the kitchen ring as each being 2.9kw. Neff have decided to up them to 3.45kw for the oven and...

    MW cert on a spurred circuit

    I have extended a ring circuit into 3 new conservatories and in each a switch spur has been used to supply the lights Now my question is would you issue a MW cert for the ring circuit plus individual MW Certs for each spurred lighting circuit stating the 3A fuse as the main OCP device or just...

    Hi all, I have been practising my testing at my parents house as I'm still an apprentice. Just a quick question. The garage, which is separate from the house has been spurred off the ring main with an SWA. The cable run is approximately 5 metres and is terminated in an isolator in the garage...

    Spurred power via fcu and possibly a light.

    Hi all, I was looking at having power and light. Is it possible to spur from existing ring main via 13 amp switched fcu and 2.5 mm to supply one double socket outlet and then come off that via a 3amp switched fcu and 1mm to supply one pendant light fitting. It will all be surface mounted so will...

    Inaccessible joint and assessment upcoming.

    Hi Folks, I have my assessment quite soon and have a query. Situation is a RFC with no sockets on the ring but there are three sockets spurred off it at one point. I have down rated the OPD to 20A due to this. The RFC end to ends are spot on and the R1R2 is decent with the legs cross...

    Volt drop from radial spurred from ring main.

    I'm installing a gate supply at the end of a customers garden. My plan is to spur off internal ring main and run a radial roughly 100m to end of garden. Providing the long run cable is of adequate size to sustain 230v to the end of the garden am I right in thinking that I can tee off again at...

    Socket and FCU spurred from ring..

    Hi all I am changing a consumer unit and noticed that a FCU for the boiler and a double socket have been spurred from the same socket. As its was previously installed by someone else, do I record it as a recommendation? Not too keen on leaving it, although its been there years. Just more...

    Lights spurred off a FRC and protected by a 32A MCB

    Working on an installation today. Noticed a circuit which is not connected to my work (different circuit). 1.5mm T&E (Ref method A) for upstairs lights fed off (I presume a hidden JB as nothing is visible) a FRC and protected by a 32A MCB. It's not been fused down, at least no FCU visible. No...

    Water softener spurred off cooker supply

    I have a wall mounted circular junction box in the hall, and, after recently taking the false ceiling down, found that the cooker supply had been run under and across the bottom of the joists to link with this box and then go through a hole in the wall into the kitchen. The supply for an...
