I have a single unswitched wall socket. It has 3 live wires, 3 neutral and 3 earth. I presume that this socket is supplying a spur nearby?
I have attached a double socket conversion plate kit. My problem is that I am having difficulty rewiring the double socket (the replacement) due to the wires not reaching, eg: the earth is on the opposite side of the double and I am struggling to get all 3 live wires back into my new double socket.
Is the solution to feed the 3 lives, 3 neutrals and earths each into their own block connector eg: 3 lives going into 1 block conector and then feeding a a single wire out of the block connector and into my new double socket? I say this as it would be stupid to use a total of 9 block connectors! Is this not sensible?
