Hello is there a website i can join a newsletter mail out for all the updates to do with all kinds of updates in the electrical industry many thanks

i thought you can spur from a spur as long as they were both fused? plus i thought you could come of the lighting circuit as long as it doesnt exceed the watts necessary to trio the fuse? anyway what would you say is the best option here?

hello, if i wanted to put an outside light on the back of a house for the garden, i suppose the best way would be to come of the nearest electrical source, but can it be any of the feeds from either sockets or water heaters or boiler switch etc as long is a use the correct 3amp fused spur as a...

many thanks mate

This may be hearsay but i hear that if you are installing smoke alrms or fire alarms in a house now they have to be run in FP200? is this a fabrication or true? plus is there a website i can sign up to that sends me all the correct and very up to date info like a news letter on everything that...

Hello Im presently working as a spark for a company and very soon theres work coming up where we will be installing a fire alarm circuit into a building and before we started i wondered of there was any manual or info i could read up on before hand so i have a very base knowledge, because as...

yeah i was thinking about that to make it part of the ring but i would also have to extend the cpc and N too and theres not much space so i may aswell spur from the CU but thanks for the advice mate

many thanks mate

ah another reason it maybe easier to just add a spur from the CU is because i would have to extend not just the phase but the cpc and N too and there isn't much space, so with limited space i think the spur is the best option, advice welcome

many thanks mate, thats what i may do when i extend one of the cables to add my socket into the ring we previously discussed. thanks again

Hello, ive been told various different ways on how to join cables, just one cable with terminal strip, how about if you cant get terminal strip in there, ive been told cripmping cables is ok as it doesnt qualify as an inspection area, please advise thanks

apologies, if it sounds confusing, thanks for the previous advice, ill do a spur from the CU lol. its all RCD protected thanks for the advice mate

so i would come out of the CU with a new cable into the new socket and the extended cable which was the previous cable one would add onto to the new socket to complete the ring again?

yes that makes sense thanks but i cannot do it like that as i cannot get to the cable to cut it i can only access the two legs at the end of the line (at the CU) so shall i do what i said before, leave cable 2 in there take out cable one extend it then add to the new socket and return with a...

oh hold on im having a blonde moment, no offence to blondes ha, you leave one leg in the CU, extend from one of them and place in the socket then come out of the socket and back to the CU with the new cable is that correct?

when i say two existing legs i mean the legs that are available at the CU

Hello John, thanks for your reply much appreciated, can you please advise on how to add in to the ring with the two exisitng legs thanks

Hello, i know all the regs about the normal wiring of a ring in a consumer unit etc that you can spur off the ring at sockets as long as you do not exceed the amount in the ring, but how about if you wanted to add a socket right next to the consumer unit, instead of spurring off an existing...
