**please note I am not going to undertake this work myself - just need to know if its possible before getting someone in**
Hi all. We have a pantry in our kitchen that contains our fuse box(old school fuses with fuse wires). I would like to hide our fridgefreezer in here out of the way but there is no socket.
There is however a smaller fuse box (pictured) connected to the main unit and from this runs a wire to another single fuse box (your typical fuse box that you pop the fuse out of to replace - currently with a 5amp fuse). From this the wire runs into a 3 terminal junction box and powers 2 external lights outside our side door.
From doing some reading on this site I understand this is classed as a spur from the main ring circuit?
Is this likely to be connected to my lighting circuit in the main fuse box (and how can I tell)? If so I assume this cannot be used.
If not part of the lighting circuit, can the 5amp fuse be replaced with a 13amp and replace the junction box with a 4 terminal one and run the 4th terminal to a socket for my fridge?
Or can that fuse box (in the pic - was this installed just for the outdoor lights by the looks of it?) below my main box be used to wire a socket?
Cheers
