Morning,
Spur of a radial, I believed that a radial circuit has no spur as per a traditional ring, ie a radial can be a star or tree shape to begin with and therefore a spur off a radial is just a nonsense.
The reason I ask is because I have just been quoted silly money to have two high level desk pedestal sockets ( at approx 1100mm above the floor) to serve a new built in desk workstation in a flat we own.
Please don't get me started on why you would rent office space for your employer, but what the market wants.
Existing is 5 sockets on a radial that is 3m from the CU that has a 20amp RCBO protecting it. Its 2.5mm t/e clipped direct and covered by dot and dab plasterboard with a total run from first socket of approx 12m round three walls at 450mm total space is 20 sqr m.
Apparently this now needs 2 x fused spurs and conduit in the walls , I wanted surface mount ( tastes change) and a direct take off from the low level socket. The reason given was 18th edition....I suspect that this is big sweaty round things but....not having a copy.
Are there any circumstances that this would hold true, Has a radial changed its definition in the 18th ????
