2 socket circuit in 1 room

[kevindgas]

does anyone know if this is allowed or any reg against it

hallway - 1 socket on ring main with 30Ma RCBO on opposite side is a single socket protected by a 16A mcb wired on a seperate radial (nothing else connected to this circuit.

kitchen - cooker circuit wired direct from consumer unit to a connection plate 18" off floor with no switch in kitchen


thanks

cant think of any regs off hand regarding the sockets, perhaps an idea would be to note it on the consumer unit and/or at the side of the sockets making it clear which mcb/rcbo isolates which socket.

im presuming this is a single phase installation by the way.

the cooker circuit is against regs however as you have no point of local isolation (should there be an emergency)

thanks yes it is a domestic flat

personally don't like the set up but hey i ain't living there

it's just the agent asked me for my opinion on it and i was not sure on either

cheers kev

I do not really understand the first issue with the sockets, can you explain what is connected to what?

As mentioned oven/ cooker without control unit does not comply...

Sounds like the 2nd socket might used to have been a night store point. Nothing wrong, but i would put a warning in the socket boxes.
