hi,
is it possible to spur of a ring circuit twice, then after each spur go through a 20amp db switch with 2.5 twin and earth then a thermostat with a 16 amp 230v rating to a 3kw over door heater? i would then be controlling each heater with a seperate thermostat as the load of both would be...
My son has just bought a house,but there is no power to the garage,can he come of a socket which is on a ringmain to a socket in garage then onto a fused spur unit to power a light many thanks.
Hi, this is my first post so hope all who read my question understand it OK. Been to look at a job, Ring Final Circuit on 32A mcb all cables are with 2.5 T&E. The Circuit has 3 single socket outlets in a bedroom & are connected to 1 suitable Junction Box at the same point on the ring (3 spurs...
just been to look at a CU upgrade ( it's got a 16th board, 1 RCD for all ). on checking, found a couple of spurs off ring with 3 sockets on 1, and 2 sockets off other. not practical to ring these, or fit FCUs as recent expensive decoration been done. on checking the load situation on the ring...
Hi all..
One i have been pondering for a lil while....
My sister has just bought a house, and two things have caught my attention.
A) The first is that they have an electric fire screwed to the wall, so a permanent fixture but is connected to a 13amp socket so can be unplugged.
Is this...
I would just like to run this one past people.
Customer has three sockets in a kitchen wired as a ring.
The two legs of 2.5mm T and E from this ring come through the wall into a cupboard.
A junction box has been fitted and a single 2.5 T and E then goes back to the DB fused at 32A (don't ask me...
Looking for some advice on what the requirements / qualifications are to install fused spurs. I install security systems for a living and always use a sparky to have spur ready before we go in and install.
I want to be able to install spurs myself, where should I start in terms of...
can i spur off a central heating radial circuit wired in 2.5.if so can i take the feed from the fused spur feed side. it is for a fridge as there are no sockets near by to spur from.
hi all have been ask to rewire a kitchen but the owner doesnt want any fused spurs above the work top so was wondering if it would be ok to use a mk grid switch with 20a double pole and put them all in one cupbard
When you put in a built in appliance in a kitchen which is fed from a switched fused spur, do you hard wire the supply or keep the plug on with the 13a fuse. Personally I'd like to hard wire it but then this will make the products guarantee void, so you could still end up with the issue of...
general question and i may be left looking daft.
exisiting fuse spur feeding garage from upstairs bedroom (spur from ring)
i want to add power into the loft as well to power 3x sockets and this spur unit is in the best location to get a feed from,
technically speaking could i get away...
Can anyone advise best practice for installing a grid system for kitchen appliances, i usually install separate fused spurs for each appliance but have been asked to install a grid on my next re-wire. do you feed it with a 32A radial or install it on the ring main. Any tips or advice gratefully...
Morning Fellas,
If you run a spur from an FCU on the ring, can it feed a double socket- then from there to another FCU and from there to a single light and switch?:confused:
Hi guys,
What are the rules and common practices for unfused spurs on a standard ring main?
If you use 2.5 for the spur than how is that properly protected with 32A MCB
Howdo guys
Probably a daft question but its better than not asking. Just seeking clarity regards installing an accessible dp switch for a fridge and freezer. I've looked at Section 537 in regs and i'm still a bit confused. My understanding is that you need to have an isolation switch so you can...
Hi
I am looking to add 2 or 3 sockets into my property, however due to the layout it would be easiest to add these as spurs of an existing socket....,I am aware that you are only allowed to spur one socket off of the original, however someone has advised me that if I was to spur of the...
I'm connecting a heated towel rail via a fused RCD spur and have now been asked to add a shaver socket. Both are only 3A load so under 13A. The shaver socket is permanently connected but the towel rail is on a timer. Can both of these be connected to the spur via their own 3A fuses. Cearly the...
Does a switch spur for am integrated kitchen appliance, like a fridge or washing machine, need to be within 2 meters of it or is that just for ovens and hobs? Also, do they need to be on switched spur?
O and one more lol. Need to ask or I wont learn :p is it best to have the washing machine on...
I remember a while back there was some discussion about this. But for switched spurs and cooker switches, can they be placed in cupboards?
I know they need to be accessible, so if you fill the cupboad you can say it does become in-accessible.
