I have 1 x 13a Double socket in my store room connected to a 16amp MCB in the consumer box. This is the only socket on that circuit. Can I run a spur of that socket in the same room?
Provided the cable is the correct size and the circuit has an RCD in addition to the 16A MCB, then yes. (Cable will almost certainly be 2.5mm)
Could add one in another room as well. Or another 50.
Thanks. you have taken the weight of me. The consumer box is only 6 months old and has 2 RCD's 1 is attached to that circuit. I have put 2.5mm ring main cable to the new socket. its only 18" from the consumer box. and I could make it a ring. but I understand I need a part P sparks to come and do it. I got a quote of £200 to change the 16A to a 32A and connect 18" of cable. considering the sparks who put in the box only charged £200 to do that. So I thought this was the easy approach and the cheapest as I don't think I needed a sparks to do this. Many Many Thanks.
