Regulations on Fused Spurs

[kiwiNCFC]

Hello!

I've had a look in BS7671 in the appendicies for regulations on fused spurs etc and I have a question.

Another electrician has gone to the house I have been asked to go to and he said that you can spur of a fused spur but I'm sure that you can only spur off a socket for 1 13a fused spur. Am i correct?

Also,

if the fused spur was say wired as a socket (connected as a ring) could you come off that fused spur and add another one?


Thanks in advance!

You can add more than one socket to a fused spur if you connect to the load side yes, is that what you mean fella?

If you havent already, have a look at page 425/ appendix 15 in the green regs book, has a good explanation and diagram on ring and radial circuit layouts and parameters

you can spur off any part of a ring main, at a socket,fcu spur point, break into the cable between two sockets and even at the mcb in the consumer unit

MDJ is right have a butchers at Appendix 15 BS 7671 it explains all, not rocket science, take your time and read, and understand it's self explanatory, pictures and all, and I don't mean to be condescending.

i think what the OP is concerned about is more than 1 FCU at the same point on a RFC. the main thing in that case is to avoid overloading of 1 part of the RFC.
