hi guys, novice here seeking advice,
in my garage currently there is a single double power socket. This runs on a single cable from the consumer unit (i.e not on a ring circuit).
when i took the face plate off the wall socket, there was one neutral, one live and one earth as expected. however, there are two points on the power outlet marked earth (with a common live and neutral) should both these earths be connected?
I now want to install a new double socket as a spur from the original plug. i have the same question about the earth cable. there are two points on the new wall plug marked earth, but i have only one cable!
Can i just link the two points together?
many thanks,
d
