hi, am i right in thinking that a socket on a spur from a ring using 2.5mm cable could only safely deliver 20A? the what size cable section on the "how to..." states 20A as the safe load for this size but maybe it is more complicated in this situation as it is only a short length? (usually).
this could easily be exceeded on a double socket supplying toaster and kettle for example.
so it seems to me that any spurs should be fused below the rating of the cable to be safe?
is this why some state that it is always better to put new sockets in the ring than on spurs.
