I was swapping out two immersion heater switches.
When I took the old switches off, I was surprised to see that one switch had 2 of each wires (E N L) connected at the load terminals. Eventually I figured out that the second set of cables was actually the supply going back into the wall & coming out at the other switch, to connect its supply.
So basically the top switch has e.g. two separate earth wires going into the earth terminal. The wires are otherwise loose, they are only held together at the terminals of the first switch.
Is it "okay" to recreate this, with the new switches? Or is there a "proper" way to do it?
Cheers!
