Help!! i'm getting confused with fused spurs / double Pole Switches.
Basicly i have a doube socket that is going to be behind a built in dressing table i am builing for the Mrs. (i will leave some room so that i can get to the plugs if needed.)
She wants to have her hair drier plugged in to one socket and hair straigteners plugged in to the other.
I was hopping to have the same sort of set up that you find in kitchens with the cooker, where as she can have a couple of switches (like a double light switch) above the dresser so she can switch either applience / socket on/off meaning they can be left plugged in without the worry that she has forgotten to turn them off at the appliance.
What / how do i go about this?
i'm thinking... unwire the double socket and wire in a double pole switch (above the table) with a spur running down to a single socket. (where the double was) carry on the ring to a second double pole switch and run a second spur and socket, the ring would then carry on as normal.
Does this make sense?
Can you get twin double pole switches so i can run both spurs from the same box (like a double light switch) but on the seperate switches?
Thanks.
Colin.
