Little update here:- I tested the earlier mentioned circuit breaker to make sure all was well. Well, it worked, and remember the triple plugs I talked about? They were knocked out, as expected when I tripped the switch. However, the two other sockets in the same room (one double, one...

Hello, My earlier thread on this board got me thinking... Generally it's not a good idea to run more than one double or single socket on a spur unless there is an FCU before the first socket...but what's to stop someone plugging in a great big six socket extension lead into a socket on a...

If you mean a fuse then yes, the circuit has it's own fuse box, which from what I can see feeds into the circuit breaker. Or it could be the other way around!? All this is seperate from the main fusebox. If you mean a surge protector, then I'm not so sure. I always make sure any electrical...

Just looked at the circuit breaker for that room... It's a:- Crabtree 40A RCCD (or B, I forgot in the time it took to get downstairs!) 30mA Circuit breaker

hmmm...bit worried about all this now. what's the worst that could happen if say, all 4 sockets were in use and the power they were drawing was too much? would it just trip the circuit breaker? oh...perhaps i should mention the room where the sockets are used to be the previous owners...

Well, I don't know what kind of circuit we have to be honest. Is there a quick and easy way to tell? Also, that middle socket will no longer feed two other double sockets, but just one.

Hi, Imagine a small bedroom, and a large bedroom seperated by a lathe and plaster wall. In the small bedroom is 3 surface mounted double sockets. Put in by the previous owners electrian friend. The middle of the three has a cable coming up from the bottom of the socket box (so i'm...
