Hi there,
Quick question for you all.
At work we have just knocked 2 rooms into one large room to make a bigger staff rest room.
The sockets in the left half of the new room is fed from the electricians workshop to its left which has its own circuit from the D/B
The right half currently has no socket outlets at all. To its right is the painters workshop also on its own circuit from the D/B.
As the only sockets required on the right hand side of the rest room happen to have socket outlets on the other side of the wall in the painters workshop my boss wants us to use these by extending the ring.
The problem has occured due to full height windows in the centre on the room and my boss does not want them spanned by conduit. But the electrcian set to do the work says it must all be done off the same circuit.
I believe he is wrong.
Is there any regs saying no to this or is the electrician playing it safe with the thought of future electricians 'assuming' the whole room would be dead when 1 circuit is isolated.
