Adding Fused Spur

[geezza]

Situation.
Garage being converted into office.
No spare ways in CU. RCD protected circuits, 2 x Radial 32A in 4mm T+E, 2 x Ring 32A in 2.5mm.
The garage currently has 1 x 2 gang socket spured from one of the Rings.
The customer requires 3 x 2 Gang sockets in the new office.

My question is can I put in a fused spur in 2.5 T+E from one of the rings to supply the 3 x 2 gang sockets. (The office is only going to have computer equipment and a hover plugged in occasionally.

DIY section surely.

What's a hover? surely you mean hoover. but actually you mean vacuum.
and as for the rest of it, deffo one for the diy section where the best advice would be get a local competent spark.
that's all from me. Thank you and goodnight

Could mean a Hover lawnmower? Maybe he's put grass in the office not carpet? Daz

mebbe Daz. bit odd, but some folk are! but since he aint returned, we'll never know

or is it to harvest the crop. if he's growing in there he'll need more than a spur off the RFC.

seems that way Pete. another one that probably finds us all 'most unhelpful' and did one.

All he had to do was look at Appendix 15 in BS 7671, least I think that's the one, mind you he may not have a current copy, methinks,

A 13A fused spur can supply all the sockets in the garage.
I would recommend putting the fcu as close to the switch socket as possible to prevent anyone adding another socket between the fcu and the socket that is being spurred from.

May not have a copy at all. lol
