Can I branch from 1 electric cable to 3

[happypeter]

Hi,
I'm re doing the bathroom and need to wire up mirror light/shaver socket/fan. I have one now redundant cable that ran a fan heater, its on its own 16A RCD.

I'd like to use a connector block to wire these together so I can easily isolate all bathroom electrics (live to live, neutral to neutral etc) Is it ok to do this? The 3 cables will draw no more than 50W in total.

thank you

Yes, provided the connector(s) are suitable for the number of wires, the wires are securely fixed and the connectors are in a suitable enclosure.

16A RCD.

What exactly is that?
RCD or MCB, or RCBO?

Thanks, understood

It says NSB16 on the switch, to the right is a 80A RCD. I'm presuming this means the NSB16 is RCD protected is that right?

Some are on the right and some are on the left so not possible to say for certain. Picture?

If it is a 26a MCB it really needs changing for those loads.

Picture?

Its the switch on the far left

Let's assume you meant 16A. What inspired you to make this statement?

He can fit a switched FCU with a more appropriate fuse in it.

those could all be fed from the lighting circuit.

Yes, all circuits have RCD protection.

Thanks for the confirmation
