[steve 111]

what is maximum amount of spur sockets taken from a main , the main amperage can be changed easily the wiring is 2.5 and a ring main is not possible without a lot of work as this is a large old house which has been wired this way , there will only be one large consumer a water heater .

You are correct it doesn't, but the OSG is what it is a guide BS7671 is a regulation and imo if someone is in doubt about something, the OSG is where to go and look.

OK, your choice.

It's a bit odd that the OSG adds a requirement that isn't present in the regs. My guess is that it's a hangover from the 15th edition and the writers of the OSG haven't noticed that the requirement has been removed from the regs.

So are you saying that as an example 10 sockets in a RFC you can't have 10 sockets as unfused spurs?

No. I'm saying you can have as many unfused spurs on a ring as you like, irrespective of the number of sockets on the ring. I believe that this complies with the current regs.

Appendix 15 shows spurs taken from accessories and also spurs taken direct from the ring.
