    Earth terminated outside.

    Ok sorry should have sent over correct photo. The question I am asking what reg is the installation going against when the earth connection is outside of the downlight connector block ?

    Earth terminated outside.

    Yeah that’s correct but my thinking would be the same for T&E earth connection outside of enclosure wouldn’t need a code against it as the reg states live conductors only so earth connections can be outside enclosure and no enclosure required is that correct ?

    Reg/standard for double socket

    Reg/standard for double socket

    Thanks for the responses guys much appreciated. So if I had a load of 8 amps through each side of socket will be all good then as standard 13amp doubles should handle 20amps ?

    Reg/standard for double socket
