Fused spurs

[Kev67]

Hi all.

Can anyone give me advise on fused spurs? I would like to know if it is ok to wire a FCU adjacent to a ring socket. Then run 2.5 t&e to say 5 double sockts and then add another FCU with a 3 amp fuse to run a 6ft fluresent fitting?Is this classed as a spur off a spur as i am aware that is not allowed.

Cheers

I have edited your response to Mr. Skelton as I feel his question to you in regards to the op is justified.

you cant spur of a spur why not extend the ring

Kev why the defensive stance?
D Skelton asked a perfectly reasonable question, How are we to know the level of your competence without first knowing if you are a practicing Electrician or a diyer looking to do a job in your own home.

He is not spurring off a spur. He is spurring off the ring to a FCU then on to 5 sockets etc. which is ok as its protected by the 13amp fuse.

 

[Farmelectrics]

ok hawke your right never read question properly even so why not extend the ring

Crikey only 6 posts and he's hit the ignore list for his attitude. That's a record.

I did a lighting rewire in a house , and the lady was having a kitchen fitted at the same time , the kitchen bodger thought it was a good idea to spur from an existing socket that was already a spur from the ring with 4 more T&E cables and was then going to tile over it after wards , this was in 2004 and he was complaining about the part Pee coming in to force in 2005....
