@font-face { font-family: "Cambria"; }@font-face { font-family: "Apple Casual"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; } I have done some work on some motorhomes recently.


The mains goes into a RCD mainswitch but then both the lights and the sockets have been connected to the same 10amp double pole MCB.
I understand the idea is that most sites only supply 10amp to the pitch so you don’t want to overload the pitch but the problem I see are that the lights are on a 10amp MCB and that both the lights and sockets would fail.


What’s the best way to split the circuits there's not room for a bigger board so I was thinking of putting a fuse outlet with a 3 amp fuse in it fed off the sockets.

How would that be 'splitting the circuits' ?
