How can i make good 4 lots of wires to one electrical socket?

[sterion66]

Behind one of my electrical sockets I have 4 live wires, 4 neutral and 4 earths. Is it acceptable to plumb those in to 5 way WAGO connectors and then use a single cable to connect those in to the electrical socket?

If it’s a ring which needs confirmation using a tester, you need to make 2 connections , one using wagos and one using the socket

this ideally should be done by a sparks

Roger, I'm happy tackling basics but this one stood out as something that was outside my remit Thanks

It's not a normal configuration. It is suggestive of two spurs being taken from one point (if it is a ring) or a spidery radial. Exactly what you have there should be checked first and the cables identified.

To expand on what I think @Dustydazzler is getting at, (assuming you have two spurs) complete the ring by putting one leg of the ring into the socket, then short jumper wires from socket to Wagos (3-way will do) and the other leg of the ring continuing from the Wagos. Then add one spur into the socket and the other into the Wagos.

At least that follows the convention and is easy to trace for those who come after.

No you need someone to access the way t\your sockets are wired before you do or get work done to elevate the problem.

Someone hasnt extended the ring correctly id say.
