hi
I hope someone can help. I only know the basics of electricity so I play it safe when I am wiring something. I just hope someone can tell me if this is safe. I want to install a single socket in my loft so have decided to buy 3 core flex and wire it to a plug top with a 13 amp fuse (plugged in downstairs) and wire the other side to a rubber type single heavy duty socket (in the loft). So far so good, but I was hoping to install a switch somewhere along the cable to isolate the socket. There is a switch where the plug is inserted but its in an hard to reach spot. So, I have bought a MK 20A Double Pole Switched Connection Unit. It all looks relatively straightforward with the supply and load terminals but just wanted to make sure that a 20A switch on a cable with a plug is safe. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You Very Much
