Terminal Block

[Manich44]

Hi All,

I have just fit 10mm splash backs in my kitchen bringing the sockets out by the same distance. On one of the double sockets I now have barely enough cable to work with and connect to the socket, I have 3 lives, neutrals and earths. Is it ok to use a terminal block to connect all like cables then run a single length from the other side of the terminal block,to act as an extension to the plug terminal?

Thanks.......

better to use wagos. no screws to come loose and arc.

Three of each? Hmmmm..... Is one of those a spur going somewhere? In theory, if you're creating a junction like that, the socket becomes a spur and you'd need to limit the current supplied to that socket with a fuse.

Hi,
Theres a spur going to a fused switch which supplies a built in freezer,and ive added another to a socket in a unit which powers the ignition to a gas hob.

WAGO is a brand of maintenance free connector. They are the replacement for choc blok, mostly. Other brands are available at all good wholesalers.
