what is the error code for this one?

[bluesky]

in the lounge there is one socket apparently installed recently which is one radial, it shares a B32 circuit breaker with a ring circuit, i thinking to make it code1 because B32 is wrong for a radial, but it looks not dangerous because the only one socket is only for a hoover sometimes, what do you guys think?

cheers

class it as an unfused spur. one socket outlet allowed. no code. but note it as a spur in comments. if you want to be picky, fit a FCU at the source of the spur.

Are you saying there are 3 x 2.5mm cables at the CU into one breaker/fuse?

If so I'd go for a "2"

 

[mrmatt]

if its only ONE socket outlet on the radial treat it as a Spur as this is allowed. If there are multiple socket outlets then this is wrong however as someone has already said I would personally fit a FCU for peace of mind

 

[bluesky]

yes there are 3x2.5mm cables at the cu into one fuse, ok, got your point, code 2 agreed, cheers

Sound alright to me if it's a spur at origin and only feeding one socket

 

[telectrix]

why code 2? an unfused spur with only 1 socket outlet is permitted.

Page 362 of 17th Edition, 2.5mm radial supplying a 2g socket is OK.

Doesn't make any difference whether the 3 cables are at the MCB or another socket backbox.

 

[bluesky]

so the spur can be at the origin? theoretically it is, but not look nice really and bit confusing...

 

[sparkswillfly]

Yep look in osg 8.2.4 spurs

 

[telectrix]

yes. it's perfectly OK. not the way i'd have done perhaps, but it complies to brb as yellowvanman said, so no problem. is there a spare way in the CU to fit a 16A MCB? this would satisfy God himself.
