Hi all,
My mother wants a double socket adding next to a desk, behind the desk there is a 10mm (i dont know the MCB in the Consumer Unit) which feeds a workshop outside which in turn has its own CU.
What i was thinking of doing was spurring off the 10mm into a Fused connection unit with a 13A fuse to supply the socket (using 2.5mm from the FCU to sockets so i can terminate them in the back of the socket!)
What i want to check to see is if the FCU is necessary, or if actually 10mm cable can easily enough be terminated in to the back of sockets (as long as the back box is big enough!). And whether i am able to spur off a feed to another CU, i know i can't to certain fixed appliances, but im not sure about CUs
Thanks
Ned
