Hi All,
Just wondering if anybody could share their thoughts on a little job I'm doing, running a single socket to supply a wall mounted TV.
The upstairs ring is running off a 32A mcb, however every socket in the room requiring the TV is a spur it appears (each having only 1 cable running into the back). This left me looking to the adjacent room for the nearest usable socket, which I have found and am happy with.
As the carpet in the house has all been glued down, running the cable under boards is a no-go, so I'm looking to go up, across the loft space, then down the wall in the next room (all cables in mini trunking as the lady I'm doing the job for doesn't want the walls/wallpaper damaged) . This however is where I've been stressing a little, as the run of cable will need to be approx 7 meters and I'm aware spurs shouldn't be more than 3. Would I be correct in thinking a 13A FCU, connected before the spur reaches 3m, is the answer to this issue?
The socket is only intended to serve an LCD TV (approx 100w)
Thanks in advance, let me know if you need some more detail & I'll do my best
