I reckon because the two singles may be a long way apart, which might encourage the plugging-in of two high-current appliances on the same 2.5mm spur. No one sensible plugs two heavy appliances into one double socket. Except maybe whoever designed the OP's scenario, which is ridiculous.... Incidentally does anyone know why the regs say an unfused spur on a ring final can feed 1 double socket, but not 2 singles?
Is there space in the board, and easy enough job to run a second radial and have each appliance on its own circuit?
Because a twin socket constitutes a spur as does a single see appendix 15 BS 7671Odd set up, but surely no worse than a double socket spurred from the MCB of a ring final? Incidentally does anyone know why the regs say an unfused spur on a ring final can feed 1 double socket, but not 2 singles?
I get that bit Pete, what I meant by that was why the distinction between 2 sockets as singles, or 2 sockets as a double? I think Mark Ribbands comment probably hit the nail on the headBecause a twin socket constitutes a spur as does a single see appendix 15 BS 7671
