We have a Electrical PLC Control Panel that has to supply 45 Fused Spur units, do I need to protect these with an RCD, we have a 10A Type D MCB at the moment.
Each Fused spur controls an electronic Volume/Pressure controller which is rated at 130mA.
Hi all,
BS1363 Switch fused spur with flex outlet has been installed. But the installer hasn't used the flex outlet, they've used singles in conduit and the cable grips are still in place on the spur. However the client has challenged this, implying it should be changed out to a standard spur...
Builder installed 175w / sq metre in an area 6.7 x 3.5. What should the fused spur be rated at and should it have a contractor as well?
Am I correct in thinking it is drawing just over 17A therefore 13A fused spur is insufficient?
Thanks
Hi all,
a friend has asked me to install him 2 sockets behind his wall mounted TV as to hide the cables. Obviously he wants minimal damage so extending the ring isn’t an option as the nearest sockets are low level on an adjacent wall and are fed from above (he’s also made it clear we can’t come...
Hi gorgeous people.
I've just been looking at a garage to re-establish the lights in it and put up a couple of LED battens but I have come across an uncommon set up which is making me scratch my head a bit. Any comments would be welcome...
The garage is fed by 10m of swa 2.5mm from the lounge...
I’ve had a water feature installed in my garden, I’ve ran an swa from the garage cu to the water feature area and connected to the pumps rubber flex (wiska box and magic gel used). Although the connections are good, if there is a fault the rcd in the house will trip out. My question is could I...
i had an electrician out and they fitted a switched fused spur on to an existing double gang socket in my kitchen to run power out to my garage.
At a later date another electrician then ran another outdoor socket off of the double gang socket.
I'm now having some new patio doors installed and...
I have 3 cables going to a double socket (original socket in a new build, I haven't changed it).
To spur off this and add an FCU I would've thought I would've had to obviously add a 4th. There are already 3 cores under each screw, feels like 4 might be 'cramming' which worries me.
What's the...
As a rank amateur at electrics I had hoped to have an electrician complete the mains connection to my low voltage garden lighting. Owing to the lockdown this isn’t possible so I’m going to have a go. Question - I already have a fused spur, fed from a double socket, to feed an outdoor garden...
Hi All, and thanks in advance for reading my question. I have soent the last 30 mins searching online without an answer to y question.
My kitchen is currently being rewired. The hob is going to run off a fused switched spur. The switched spur is currently wired directly into the kitchen ring so...
Hi guys,
I’m running some power outside.
There is a socket inside the lounge and I want to switch a supply from this out.
I was thinking of a 13A FCU Next to the socket. Then out the back to an outside 2 gang socket (IP66)
My main question is do I NEED to fuse down again for some lights if...
Hi
I’ve got an aluminium flexible duct from a cooker hood extractor which runs right next to a Switched Fuse Spur (3amp fuse)
Do you think I need to protect it from the heat generated in the duct?
Thanks
Hi all,
I have recently had a new hood installed and need to install some ducting. I live in a flat with loft access its a 1 up 1 down.
I'd like to run the ducting straight up into the loft and then out through the soffit. Can someone please recommend makes of vents, ducting to use? And also...
Good Evening All,
I have been asked by the family of some elderly neighbours to install a socket in an understairs cupboard for a small chest freezer and add a lighting point in the same cupboard.
Installation is protected by a Wylex 3036 rewireable board so had no rcd protection and the...
Looking to wire an electrical fire (2Kw convector heater) which is fitted with LEDs (separate supply) can I use a single spur or would I have to have 2 separate spurs?
Thanks in advance
Hi, I'm looking to replace my electric single fan oven. It is plugged into a double socket, the other socket having the gas hob plugged into it, and this double socket is wired to a 13a switched fused spur. Looking at the ovens in my price range I can see some that include a plug and can be...
Hi,
Hoping to get a 2nd opinion please. We are fitting out a new room and will be wall mounting the TV. We want all connections to be hidden behind the TV. The problem is that a standard mains socket and plug is too deep behind the TV so TV sticks out too far.
Currently, in another room...
I have two cables for wall lamps (1mm T+E) going to one of the socket in the back of the TV. These lamps will be controlled with smart bulbs with a little remote control or/and an app on the phone, no need of wall switch.
I'm considering to use the 47mm double metal box to host a modular single...

Hi all,
I’ve got a friend who’s a fully qualified electrician, and today we got into a discussion, I install intruder alarms, I have completed my level 2 electrical science and installation, and 6 months ago completed the more relevant course of “mains compliance” qualification, mainly so I...
really simple one how many sockets can I run off a 13amp fused spur, I know I could look it up in the book, but I'm trying to win an argument in a pub?
