Quick question, I don't really do house rewires but a friend asked Is it possible to run a 2.5mm ring feeding several fcu. These would then feed several double sockets. the ring would be connected into the supply side of fcu and only the 13a double socket would be in the load.
So example x5 fcu each one feeding its own double socket
I didn't see a problem but I could be completly wrong as I don't generally do that work
I assume he's got 2 or 3 undercounter appliances so why not just run each one on its own radial and it's own MCB in the CU. He'll be able to isolate them individually that way without having a wall full of FCU's.
You could be right, at first I assumed it might be some bizarre UK standard installation I hadn't heard of.
Im confused too, I think ! Or am I ?
Do you/your friend mean as in a kitchen where many kitchen fitters put a fcu in the ring, above the kitchen worktop which then feeds a socket outlet for a freezer, washing machine etc ? In effect a spur from the rfc for each appliance ?
Thanks for your suggestion, like any of you if a friend as for advice you help where possible. What I've asked all I have encountered on here other than a few good responses in the end its is negativity and silly responses,don't really boast well if people not in the trade look up stuff and get directed here. At the end of the day like my position we all start out with little experience older we are more we get. Unfortunately this is not somethin. I have come across so sought advice here. Which I won't be doing again.
The reason you got some "daft" responses was down to the very badly worded and described OP!!Really don't go down that path nothing is a silly question at the end of the day. If in doubt ask.
