I want to install a second double socket in the garage. The current arrangement in the garage is as follows:
Double socket fed from an RCD (B16).
From the double socket a spur has been taken (2.5mm T&E) for the supply to a gas boiler.
I assume regs wont let me take a further 2.5mm spur from the gas boiler spur?
If not what other options do I have as I presume I cant run an additional socket as a second spur from the original double socket.
The original double socket is fed by a single 2.5mm T&E from RCD and nothing else is on that RCD.
The extra double socket I want to install is for running a variety of woodworking tools where maximum load will be about 1400W. I will use the second socket to occasionally charge battery for cordless drill (40W) so maximum load will never exceed 2000W (8A). The boiler consuption is 150W.
Thanks
