Hi all,
Just new to the forum so go easy on me
I'm going through a personal project to lay floor down in my loft and whilst doing so, installing a couple of sockets to allow for some computer equipment to run.
I've been speaking to a few mates and found that I am ideally wanting to find a ring main to install my socket onto. I feel like I've fell at the first hurdle as this is proving difficult to locate.
I have managed to locate a wire going to my smoke alarm which I'm reluctant to use for obvious reasons.
I've also located a box above my bathroom which I've found is a transformer for a fan in the bathroom. Reading up on this further, the fan is SELV and the box reads "Safety Extra Low Voltage". There is two wires going into this from what I can see however suspect an additional wire coming out from underneath it (connecting up to the bathroom lighting).
I'm looking to find out if the two cables going into this transformer will be part of the ring main and therefore have the right voltage/amperage to support the computer equipment.
Is there any other way of identifying what wire best to use?
I've attached a picture of this too.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Kev
