spur

Hi, I have a new-build with (just about) attached garage which has one double socket and one light socket installed. The double socket is connected via a spur from the ring main for the downstairs sockets using a single 2.5mm T&E cable through the wall to the main house. Downstairs sockets are...

Hi all, I have just moved in to a property and am a little confused with some wiring that I have found. So there is a 20amp circuit on the box labelled "Water heater". Turning it off shows that the fridge in the utility room goes off, one socket in the smallest bedroom, the loft light and the...

Quick electrical question I currently have a floodlight outside wired into a fused spur which has been taken from a socket many years ago. I've recently had two more flood lights added (mrs not me!!), everything on LED so not an issue with load. When the builder put the lights up he ran...

Hi, I have just moved into an old flat. I will be getting a full re-wire soon enough but I have a question about the safety of a "spur" in the most out of the way room. There is a double socket in the room by the door and in one of the sockets is a plug. From this plug a fairly large...

I know the limit is one spur from a socket on a ring main. Is this a spur to a double socket? If so, is a spur to two singles back to back in a stud partition ok. I would have thought this would be similar to one double.
