Hi guys working in a factory having to spur off a ring main problem is its already got a fuse spur coming off it for some fans. The ring main is on a 32A breaker and wired in 4mm guessing this might be for volt drop. Question is can i spur off this socket twice using 4mm cable? Then the cabel is protected and safe still. so i can get wires in terminals was thinking to relocate fused spur for fans into new added socket. so it will go RING MAIN spured to new socket then out of there to fused spur. All wired in 4mm. cheers
 
Go for it! No problem at all in doing what you have proposed.
No need to refer to the dummies guide for RFCs

However it might be beneficial for someone unclear on a subject to read and research the available guidance rather than just to "go for it" on the say so of someone on the internet.
 
I find it strange that so many qualified electricians need so many guides to tell them exactly what to do..
How would you cope if there wasn't so many step by step set of instructions?
I feel that based on my observations that anybody with the ability to read could quite easily be an electrician..
Refer to the dummies guide on RFCs what does it say with regards to this situation?
