I've been a viewer of this forum long enough that the mantra "you cant spur off a spur" is deeply etched in my brain. And I wouldnt ... oooh no, not me sir. However, there's a dull spot upstairs today which is preventing me recalling why you should not do the following:
From a spurred socket, wire-up a 3amp FCU in order to feed, say, a single (switched) light. That's spuring off a spur, but then, isnt that just like plugging a table lamp into a spurred socket? If you swap the spurred socket for a 3amp FCU, this would then limit the appliances you could use from sockets on the spur right? Is it simply to safeguard against future overload (however unlikely this could come about .... what, daisy-chaining a few dozen 100w lights?????)
Aaagh, please, someone, put me out of my misery ..... and if someone says that's just what the regs say, well .... I will find you .....
