Hi guys, newbie posting!
Does the following sound ok...
Existing circuit:
SOCKET on a ring -> spur to SWITCHED 3A FCU -> SWITCH -> hardwired FAN
Proposed:
A new UNSWITCHED 13A FCU will be inserted between the SOCKET on a ring and the SWITCHED 3A FCU (which protects the FAN to 3A). Then that same new UNSWITCHED 13A FCU (from load side of course) will separately feed a new DBL SOCKET. This means that the spur off the ring could not exceed 13A in total, noting also that at least 1.5mm cable is/will be used.
Circuit becomes:
SOCKET on a ring -> spur to new UNSWITCHED 13A FCU -> original SWITCHED 3A FCU -> SWITCH -> hardwired FAN
and...
same new UNSWITCHED 13A FCU -> DBL SOCKET
I have coloured the original existing parts green to help them stand out.
It's quite simple but it looks complicated written down, and the above will minimise the amount of work - just need to add a in-line FCU and run it to a dbl socket.
