    RCD on radial for fused spurs?

    Hi all, Half way through an installation as a subby on someone else’s electrical contract. It’s for a church, in which they’ve asked me to run 2 radial circuits. Circuits 1 and 2 split a total of 10 fused spurs, 5 on each radial, each with a 3a fuse and on a 20a mcb. Cables are run under...

    2 questions - Existing ring main mapping, and rules on spurs

    Hi Just getting started with a view to DIY electrics on my house extension in a few months time, and ideally would like to map out the current circuits so I can plan the best way to join up, or where new circuits may be required etc. 2 Questions I reckon I can do some DIY non-live testing of...

    Use of 20AX switches in spurs off ring main

    I bought a number of 20AX grid switches with printed labels on them e.g. washing machine. These were to put an isolator above the work top for a 13A switched socket under the work top in the utility room. Electrician says no as the spur will be off a 32A ring the switch must be capable of the...

    Alarm and heating fused spurs

    In a fire alarm circuit with a unswitch fused spur would you put a 3A fuse? In a heating system with a switched fuse spur would you put a 5A?

    Ring main consisting of only spurs

    Hi, this is my first time on this forum so I hope I'm in the correct section. I've come across a strange socket wiring set up in my own home. I was baffled at first as to how at the consumer unit I had a ring main set up (2x 2.5 T&E fused at 32A) but radial setup at each socket (1 cable). What...

    Adding a spur to a spur

    I have a socket which is connected off the main circuit ring. Just wanted to know if it's possible to add another socket spurring off this second socket? (Please see attached image.) If it's against regulations, then 1) what's the worst that could happen? (Will my circuits blow up?) 2)...

    Multiple spurs off double socket

    Hi I recently purchased a house (built and wired in the 80s). I removed one of the sockets to do some wallpapering and I noticed that it has 4 hot+neutral (+earth) wires connected to the double socket (and I'm assuming it's all solid core 2.5mm wiring??). I'm not sure if it's connected in a...

    spurs

    what is maximum amount of spur sockets taken from a main , the main amperage can be changed easily the wiring is 2.5 and a ring main is not possible without a lot of work as this is a large old house which has been wired this way , there will only be one large consumer a water heater .

    Fused spurs

    Hi guys, I understand that when you spur off a circuit if you have a 1 socket then you do not need to have it fused but if you have 2 or more it needs to be fused. What is the principle behind this? Thanks

    Spurs off Spurs on radial circuit

    So you can spur off Spurs on a radial socket circuit, is this because the cable is protected via a 20amp breaker at the board compared to 32amp on a ring?
