Single Pole Fused Switched Spur?

[Swicade]

Part of me wants to turn into the guy that trained me up all those years ago and deal out a 'clip around the ear' for the mistake that was made tbh....but the other part admires the fact you gave it a go and have taken the advice on the chin realiseing your mistakes and accepting the problem.

Always good to see some sensible enthusiasm and i hope you'll keep this up BUT i will suggest that in future you plan out what you want to do then seek some professional advice before starting the next job, people will always help (we might take the mick in the process of course) so things get done right.

I'm hopeing your in training at present as a sparks as the attitude shown here (willingly taking advice without the usual chip on the shoulder many seem to have) as a credit to yourself......if your a diyer having a go i'd suggest looking into proper electrical training (ful course to nvq3 not a crash course) as you seem to be the sort of future sparks (given the right training) that gives me alittle hope for the future.

Don't want to be picky but just in case Ocelot7's not sure.

In the diagram - the neon should be on the load side and the fuse will be before the switch.

Oops, correct I must have rotated not flipped the FCU at one point, if the FCU was flipped over and the cables stayed where they were it would be correct. However moot point since we have no control over the internal design of an FCU.

Apparently they vary in this respect - sorry.

If this was your first time doing this kind of job, you should have been supervised and trained, not left to "get on with it". It's fortunate that someone didn't get hurt.
