I need a power supply for my stereo system.
There is a convenient fused spur, (at least I think that's what it is: on/off switch, 3A fuse, red light, as used for appliances???). This is not in use, and actually doesn't appear to have any power (the light doesn't come on, and yes, I've tried changing the fuse!!!). So: 1)how do I find out if it's got power; 2)how do I switch it back on if it's off; 3)would it be suitable to act as a supply for a multiple socket serving an 8/9 piece hi-fi set-up???
Alternatively, there is also a convenient double socket from which I could just run an extension lead (obviously a suitable, fused one), but as I need 8 or 9 outlets, will this be OK?
Sorry for the long question, hope you can help, thanks in advance, all praise to DIYNOT...
