Hi everyone.
I have a small issue that I can't find an answer to.
Basically, spurs off ring mains in kitchens are bad (in fact some people argue spurs are bad full stop).
I am fitting 3 x FCU's in my kitchen above the worktops, each connected to the ring main, with another 2.5 T&E cable running from each FCU in to a cupboard below to feed dishwasher, washer and tumble dryer. So each FCU has 3 cables to connect.
This means that each of those appliance sockets connected to these FCU's is now regarded as a spur since it's now split from the ring. Rules state no more than one spur in a kitchen.
Confused. How are these appliances supposed to be connected?
Hope someone can clear it up.
Many thanks in advance.
Steve.
