I could use some help and advice for this setup in a new house. No clue about electrics.. just want to identify if this is safe or a bodge job (I didn't do it).
The loft has been converted and has the wiring as follows...
It's at the end of wire, which I believe is called a 'spur'.
Wire up from house (black, red, earth) TO
13a 3 way terminal junction box TO
2 plug wall socket AND TO
Wire (black, red, earth) TO
13a 3 way terminal junction box TO
2 plug wall socket where it ends.
What loads can be drawn on this setup?
Does it depend on what it put on the first wall socket?
Does it sound like the correct setup?
There was an incident where the first terminal junction box wiring melted inside, I think due to bad wiring as it was long wiring, all stuffed inside and I think it arced but now I wonder if it also overloaded.
Can a spur only take a smaller load than a main ring circuit?
Thanks
