Hi,

Should a burglar alarm be wired directly onto the consumer unit or is it acceptable to hard wire it onto an existing socket?

Thanks,

Jon
 
Hi,

Is it OK for the Alarm panel, which is in an adjoining garage, (to the kitchen) to be spurred off a socket in the kitchen or should it have been spurred off from a supply in the garage, (which is on its own circuit)

Never direct into a consumer unit.

Always through an unswitched fused spur, preferably fed direct from the consumer unit on a 6A MCB.

Spur should be fused at 3A.

Spur can be fed from kitchen but should be adjacent to the control panel (within 2m) Likely need to cable spur in 4mm T&E.
