I wanted to spur from a socket to a 13amp FCU and onto two additional in line single sockets.
When I inspected the socket i wanted to spur from, it had two cables running into it but I felt it was a later installation than other sockets on the ring.
I wondered if it might be an intermediate outlet on a two outlet spur - so disconected the live wires and switched the power back on wondering if i would find one additional dead socket , but didnt. All other sockets in the house were live. I then checked sockets in the locality so see if I could find a spur running from them but couldnt. I also checked that the socket in question was controlled by the socket circuit breaker on the fuse board and it was.
I want to confirm the status of this socket ( ie is it a spur or not) so am I doing something wrong??
