    Fused switch with two feeds but no load?

    There are two immersion heater switches as well but they run off their own dedicated switches in the consumer unit. So yeah maybe a shower I guess. Just wanted to be sure when I change the switch to a newer one that the wiring is okay as is. Thanks.

    Fused switch with two feeds but no load?

    Thanks. Correct, both wires run off of one of two "socket" switches in the consumer unit. What's the purpose though? Is it simply to have the possibility of running something off it?

    Fused switch with two feeds but no load?

    Hello, I have a 13A fuse switch in my airing cupboard that has never done anything. I thought maybe years ago it was for an electric shower but there was no wiring in the bathroom when I re fitted it so can't be that. Upon opening the switch there are two sets of wires, 2xred(L), 2xblack(N) and...

    Hello, I was about to replace the old tatty 8 gang grid switches in my kitchen with some new Varilight ones. The only problem I have is that the two old 13A fuse modules had 3 connections. There was a live wire going into the top terminal and then a single yellow into one of the bottom ones and...

    UK Hob\Oven wired wrong way round?

    Hi, I'm thinking of replacing my 8 gang switches which are all 20Amp DP to newer MK ones. One of them is marked "Hob" but actually controls the oven. The switch on the other side of the kitchen near the Hob and cooker actually controls the Hob. I think this is a 45Amp style switch. This is how...

    Extending an electrical outlet

    Hi all, new member here. Re doing my bathroom in a new flat and want to move a fused switch connection which powered a rubbish heater fan (mounted high on the wall), to lower down so I can use it to power an electric towel radiator. Basically what's the correct way to extend the wire about 3-4...
