which reg

[i=p/u]

working today relocating cables to accomadate building works happening .(hotel)

there was a 50A breaker feeding a single double socket with 10mm cable.

i said im gonna squeeze a fuesd spur in and was told no cause that limits me to 13A ,where its feeding two hotplate/food counters on 13A plugs

i think change the breaker too at least a 30A .. whats your views what regs is he defying..

after reading des's post, i would be inclined to change the double socket for 2 singles. also, having seen 1363 sockets melted when supplying cooking apparatus, it might be an idea to fit 2 16A commando sockets ( forgot the BS no.) and change the plugs on the appliances accordingly.

Problem here is you lose the fuse protection in the plug top
