Spur from Ring Final Circuit

My last thread was taken down due to copyright reasons, I think it was because I scanned a page from the wiring regs and posted it.

Can anyone tell me if this circuit design conforms to regs?

Will this alteration be getting tested and a certificate produced ?

That's the only reason mate, Because it was the first post in the thread I couldn't delete the image without deleting the whole thread.

Nope alterations and additions do not need to be notified to building control so no certificate needed

Thank you for explaining

The wiring regulations stipulate that all alterations are tested and certificated with the appropriate series of tests to verify safety. This is regardless of any need to notify work or not.

Thank you for pointing that out. The wiring regulations are only advisory. I will take your comment into consideration. My main concern at the moment is getting the design correct

Design is just advisory, crack on.

I want the design to be safe, so I have decided to design it in accordance with BS7671 wiring regulations, my problem is I am not sure if this design conforms so I elected to consult the experts in this forum.

Mate, if you want advice and help on this forum best you take good advice and use it - if you don't then we can only assume you go to work on a horse

If you really wanted it to be safe you would consider that testing of the circuit is the only real way to prove it will function without risk to life or property.

I'm not being obstructive here but you really need to be honest with the forum in order to get on. You have not filled in any of your profile so nobody knows your qualification level or work. I feel that you are a DIYer doing up your own home with no electrical qualifications. Am I correct ?

You are correct. I am being honest, why do you think otherwise?

I do not own a horse? I am taking advice. I said thank you for pointing out the regs recommend testing.

 

[Gigsy]

Am i correct in saying that the spur has a maximum length of 1/8 of the total circuit?

 

[Andy78]

You are correct. I am being honest, why do you think otherwise?

I can't help you anymore and nor should anyone else here. It would be professionally wrong of me to assist an incompetent person to do electrical work, especially when they have stated that they will pick and choose from the standard that our profession works to as it suits them.
