Good Morning
Visited a property yesterday. Customer saying only certain appliances working from double socket in bedroom. Electric toothbrush yes, vacuum cleaner no.
After inspecting socket and wiring find that the socket has been taken as a spur from downstairs lighting circuit on 6A MCB. Circuit tests indicate the circuit itself is okay. Double socket removed and blank plate fitted.
I am thinking that volt drop is the reason the vacuum cleaner did not work but lower power devices still did. Is this correct?
Many thanks in advance
