can any body help? :?:
I'm fitting a new kitchin and where there are 3 sockets (1 double + 1 single) i need 4 ( 2 doubles). Only when removing the tiles I've found that
there is only one strand of 2.5mm twin & earth supplying these sockets and this comes down from the celling in the plaster. How can I tell if this is some doggy mod coming off a ring or the end of a radial circit.
Can i fit a FCU rated at 13 amps before the sockets to protect from over load. There is going to be a fridge, freezer and a 800watt microwave using these sockets. :?:

If its a spur off the ring, its out of order, Adding a FCU will keep you out of trouble if in doubt.
