Cable direct to switched fuse box ??

[jcaan]

Hi I'm thinking of putting aa hole in the chimney breast to put an extention through. So I can attach TV through it.

Can I just take the plug off the extention and attach the cable direct to the fused box .. instead of taking the plug and plugging into the socket on the other wall.

fused box

If by that you mean the fused connection unit (FCU) yes, however if you mean a consumer unit likely no.

What does the fused connection unit currently serve?

Sorry I meant the FCU which u can see in the pic. It doesn't serve anything atm. I think it might be coming from the sockets.

So shall I just remove the plug of the extension and connect the 3 wires from the extention cable to the FCU. Would that be OK?

Yes OK as there is a fuse in the FCU same as a plug.

Connected to the LOAD side of the FCU. That’s ok.
