I was moving the wires about when it tripped even though socket wasn't live. Likely did touch. So makes sense

Went to change a socket. Turned kitchen sockets off at mcb. Tested and was no power to socket. Or kitchen. Started to connect new socket. Blue fuse tripped and took out power to other circuits... dont understand. Or know what that means? All fine now but blue fuse has red marker. What do I do...

I think you are right. Thats all I can test with multimeter and visual as is. I am going to pull all the flooroards up tomorrow night and get to the bottom of this. there might be a junction of some sort? I did just have a peek and saw this... I assume its the oven. But now i need to see every...

The same as the diagram. All Red to lives blacks to neutral. Earth to earth. They all work fine. Just only on one switch.

I used a multimeter and tested every wire wirh every other wire with lights removed. All loose wires. tested from all sockets and lights. A black from each of the kitchen lights ran to 1 red in the socket. I got a reading from each of them when connected on the multimeter so assumed they ran a...

I started a new thread for this but perhaps wasn't needed. I was debating swapping for a single. but the fact I have 2 separate wires in the L1 terminals made me think I can get them working independently. Somehow. This is where I'm at currently. If this helps?... (I can probably get someone...

Hi, (Apologies this may have been better tagged onto existing thread regarding having these work in the first place) Thank you all for the help getting these lights working. The issue I have now is that the 2 gang only has one switch working both Kitchen lights. The other does nothing. Below...

35mm back box with wagos? I just need to figure out how this would connect to a twin socket and then off to the two under counter sockets. I suppose i then want a 35mm twin socket above but its just all so messy. Id love to scrap it all and go looped sockets only

Need a glass of wine. Promised the mrs id have this sorted tomorrow haha So I love the idea of grid twin switch plate. Alongside a twin socket. Can i research it in time? likely not. In your expert opinion. Whats the likely scenario of having a looped in pair of twin sockets. 2 above 2 below...

Shame as its messy but perhaps only way to avoid overload? And you were right. The washer twin switch wasnt quite as i expected. Its a single wire up to circuit from each. With a spur to washer plug under counter from switch. Is there a way to mirror this where my dryer switch is but add a...

Ok thanks. Ill mull this over, more to think about. So spurs a lot more limiting than looping in. I need to look at microwave load too now.

Great I shall probably extend it to two twin sockets instead if a switch and spur. (but as ericmark says above. Am I pushing my luck with a dryer and fridge on this extended circuit twin socket without a 20amp isolation) And its not very helpful to anyone using this in the future who preferes...

Im going to check this later. Labels on consumer unit not clear. Yeah the 20amp washer spur is also wired to circuit.. odd. And if I add the extra sockets to the circuit rather than spur. Is it just a case of having two wires down to the new socket. Or do I remove one cable from first, then...

Sorry im multi tasking. In short. Only 1 switch powers both lights in the kitchen now. The seing switch on the 2 gang does nothing. The kitchen switch has 1 live wire from the kitchen lights in the common terminal. Another wire in the second common (bridged) passes power to the living room...

Me

Not a thing...it was taped up when i moved in. Com port has live to the kitchen lights and the bridge is for another live to living room switch. The 2 wires i put in L1 ports are what I assume go to both kitchen lights too. As i take one out and one light stops working.

Hi. You guys are awesome. I now have light. But thats allowed me to see what comes next. I meed more sockets. Here are the sockets i have. Question is. Can I just spur these. The dryer 20amp switch id like to swap for a twin over counter 13amp. And then spur a second off under counter for a...

I wired all the lights back up... Turns out k2 had a snapped wire in the light which messed up the whole circuit. In the end the two wires in the switch I couldnt identify must have been the returns for the switched lives? after pairing the others up and deducing which was live and which went...

Out for lunch will try put back together in 2 hours. i assumed it was live as it was the only wire con connecting 2 lights. K2 and L1 on diagram. I did have it in neutral originally though and it all half worked

This seems to be why i find it hard to find things online. So the terminology is 2 plate then.
