Thanks. Can't find my OSG at present.As I say it is a recommendation not a regulation.
It is mentioned in the OSG under standard circuits.
I have found it in the 15th edition, Appendix 5, paragraph heading "Spurs".

Just found my OSG. Yes, 7.2.2, still retains this clause. Looks like it's out of step with the current regs.Thanks. Can't find my OSG at present.

Having re-read the OP, I'm not sure we're talking about a ring....
"what is maximum amount of spur sockets taken from a main , the main amperage can be changed easily the wiring is 2.5 and a ring main is not possible without a lot of work as this is a large old house which has been wired this way"
I think he's talking radial.
I did not know that!Thanks. Can't find my OSG at present.

Between App 14 and App 16 Sorry couldn't resist Page 453 in my copyYes. Can you tell me where in Appendix 15 this is referred to?
Sorry mate I misread your post, off hand no I can't but it's not a very big appendix 3 or 4 pages most of the appendix is diagramsYes. Can you tell me where in Appendix 15 this is referred to?
Or On Site Guide: 7.2.2Yes. Can you tell me where in Appendix 15 this is referred to?
Why?Just found my OSG. Yes, 7.2.2, still retains this clause. Looks like it's out of step with the current regs.
Appendix 15 is two pages. One on rings and one on radials. There's no reference to number of spurs off a ring.Sorry mate I misread your post, off hand no I can't but it's not a very big appendix 3 or 4 pages most of the appendix is diagrams
You are correct it doesn't, but the OSG is what it is a guide BS7671 is a regulation and imo if someone is in doubt about something, the OSG is where to go and look.Appendix 15 is two pages. One on rings and one on radials. There's no reference to number of spurs off a ring.
OK, your choice.You are correct it doesn't, but the OSG is what it is a guide BS7671 is a regulation and imo if someone is in doubt about something, the OSG is where to go and look.
So are you saying that as an example 10 sockets in a RFC you can't have 10 sockets as unfused spurs?OK, your choice.
It's a bit odd that the OSG adds a requirement that isn't present in the regs. My guess is that it's a hangover from the 15th edition and the writers of the OSG haven't noticed that the requirement has been removed from the regs.
No. I'm saying you can have as many unfused spurs on a ring as you like, irrespective of the number of sockets on the ring. I believe that this complies with the current regs.So are you saying that as an example 10 sockets in a RFC you can't have 10 sockets as unfused spurs?
Yes Handy I can see where you are coming from now, well you live and learnNo. I'm saying you can have as many unfused spurs on a ring as you like, irrespective of the number of sockets on the ring. I believe that this complies with the current regs.
