Yes, a fuse will be on the spur, being a 13A socket it has to be. Yes, gridswitching makes it clear the fuse can be downstream from the tapping on the ring, as long as the spur cable is protected. thxThink grid switches for kitchen appliances.
20A DP switch as spur point off the rfc.... each spur is unfused to one point. Be that a socket or whatever.
the spur only needs a fuse if it is then supplying more than one point.
The opening question was solved. As long as the spur is protected by a 13A fuse, at any point along it, then all is well. You can have as many switches on the spur as you like then.
That conflicts with others here. Ref?If more than one point, the spur has to be fused at its source, not any point along it.
If you put individual FCU's for each point on an un fused spur, the additional points could lead to the load being too high for the spurred cable. With an existing spur, for example, all additional loads should be via one FCU.That conflicts with others here. Ref?
I believe John said switches, not FCUsIf you put individual FCU's for each point on an un fused spur, the additional points could lead to the load being too high for the spurred cable. With an existing spur, for example, all additional loads should be via one FCU.
No difference, it's still load.I believe John said switches, not FCUs

Bus bars?
A switch is not a load. John, being John, is arguing that the line to the load can be switched by any number of switches. Not that there would be any point to that, of course.No difference, it's still load
No, but it's purpose is to switch load. ?A switch is not a load. John, being John, is arguing that the line to the load can be switched by any number of switches. Not that there would be any point to that, of course.
I think that's what John, being John, is saying...?
The spur line to the load can have multiple switches, however you correctly gleened this would be pointless.A switch is not a load. John, being John, is arguing that the line to the load can be switched by any number of switches. Not that there would be any point to that, of course.

You are right in correcting others in that a switch is not a load.
