Afternoon all
I have 3 double external sockets (one of which is in my shed) at my house and wanted to make sure they are set up correctly, being as I don’t know who did them.
I have a separate ring on my consumer unit for the kitchen sockets, of which there are four. Only one of those is in constant use for the fridge, the others are for the kettle etc. There’s a spur from one of these sockets and runs into a 13A fused spur on the kitchen wall. From here, there’s an armoured cable that goes through and then down the external wall, before running through a conduit along the garden to power the first socket. From here, there’s another spur to the next socket and a final one to the shed (for the tumble dryer), making 3 outdoor sockets in total with quite long cable runs in between.
The job was done 8 years ago when the house was re-wired apparently and all of the wiring and fittings appear to be top quality weatherproof. Need I be concerned about anything, or should I plug in my flymo and away to go?
