sockets

ferg · Feb 18, 2015

I did something similar with an extra socket today so I could use an RCD protected way and clearly marked it on the CU.

It's for a regular customer and a CU upgrade is on the cards in the future so will be able to sort it then.

There is kind of an argument for not having all the sockets in one room on the same CCT in case of a fault, but it's not a very good one.

Assuming this is a reference to our discussion on Aerial boosters recently, I assume this is aimed at me. I think questioning my standards is at best misguided and at worst disrespectful. Sometimes doing the most cost-effective job (that is safe, compliant and neat) is preferable to chasing out walls unnecessarily.

It was in reference to that thread, but not specifically aimed at you.

Then please accept my apologies. Still think the point is valid, mind.

Cripes - how many houses in the UK have sockets in 1 room, served by 2 or more circuits? or more!

I think the OP needs to determine exactly where the cable is connected and go from there - for all we know if could be connected to the CCU!
