Hello, I have a query about the combination of a fused spur and a trailing socket. Please let me know if I am mistaken in anything below. Any replies will be much appreciated.
1) A fused spur is the same as a trailing socket as far as the electrical connections are concerned. The only difference being that the spur connects at the back of the mains socket whilst the trailing socket connects at the front. And, of course, one is permanent and the other, temporary.
2) It is not permitted to take a spur from a spur. I recall being told this some years ago.
3) Assuming that (1) and (2) are correct, is it illegal to connect a trailing socket to a fused spur?
