Hi all,
A friend is planning to have a fixed island in his new kitchen and a moving island that can be pushed to and from the fixed island when needed.
The fixed island will have one UK standard round plate socket (sorry, can't remember the name of the brand).
The moving island, when pushed up to the fixed island will use a cable with a 3 pin plug to plug in to the socket and then terminate with a powerCon connector at the other end which will plug into a powerCon socket on the moving island and then branch off to two of the single gang round UK type sockets on the moving island.
Will the above be acceptable? The sockets on the moving island will only be used to power laptops and tablets. IIRC PowerCon is rated at 16A, if need be, a fused spur can be added inline with a 13A fuse.
I appreciate that one should normally only have one spur, but will two be acceptable if the circuit is fused?
Thanks in advance.
