Hello there,

I have my 1st assessment on monday and have a few questions about fused spurs throughout the house where i have changed the distribution board(nothing else).

1st I have a security light coming off the downstairs ring from the kitchen and i can't find any spur for that(and have no idea which socket it comes off), should i just note a deviation from the regs?

2nd i have a shaver socket in the downstairs toilet directly behind a light switch, does that need a fused spur? My thinking is there's not really any significant run of cable to protect?

3rd i have a shed (spurred off the kitchen ring) with 2 power sockets, and 1 lighting circuit that comes off a junction box(in shed) hence no fused spur for the lights although the cable supplying the lights is 2.5mm(same as socket), bearing in mind i thought fused spurs were primarily to protect the cable should i fit a 3 amp there or just note it as a deviation from the regs?

Thanks for reading.
 
how did the assessment go tok??

how strange i thought i had replied!

The assessment went ok, the assessor said that the bonding had been "adequate", and i promised to finish upgrading it to current regs.
All the extensive testing i did was a bit wasted as he was more interested in the fundamentals and was happy with how the certificate looked, plus i had all the paperwork prepared.
I was ready to impress him with all my knowledge of circuit design, regs etc. , but he didn't really quiz me very much!
