Ring and Spur

[rigby]

Hi, which arrangement is the correct one for Fuse Spur on a ring circuit?

 

[SYKRAPS]

I prefer method A but they are both fine

 

[Jimsparky]

As above

 

[bigspark17]

eitherway.! situation depending.. but preferably A.

you dont need to go through fused spurs if youre only adding a single socket.
so i wouldnt use either method lol.

edit ; just realised its for stationary appliances , oops.
yeah , er , either method

Lol biff but is there anything wrong with either method?

Sent before your edit mate, you speed typer you

No discrimination between the two fuses? One in fused spur other in appliance plug top, should use 20 dp switch instead of fcu.

both ok
but having the spurs connected on the ring ( A ) rather than though the sockets will make it easier to balance loads over the ring , so slightly preferable.

i'd go with that as well.

I would prefer A

Thank you all, Method A makes life easier to lay out the spurs in the kitchen area.

Method A too, but would be using DP switched if feeding fixed appliances via socket and a plug.
