Discuss Is it OK to terminate switched fused spur with 13A socket? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

I'm well aware that the IEE Regs use the term ring final circuit, but ring main has been common terminology since Adam was a boy - and it has the advantage of being shorter and easier to say. Old habits die hard! :)

Very few phrases in the English language are totally unambiguous and 'above counter top isolation' certainly fails that test. Taken literally, it means directly above, rather than simply at a higher level, but words are not always meant to be interpreted in such a literal manner. Just out of interest, does the layout I described in my previous post meet the Scottish regs?
 
Would worry about it passing Scottish regs; their stuff is different, something to do with the weather and those large midges.:)

I hail from north of the border and have plenty of experience of Highland midges, but large they are not. The pesky blighters are tiny creatures. The irritation they cause is out of all proportion to their size.

See now, I thought they were the size of that other fauna you have the lesser spotted Haggis :)
