Hi all,
Stumbled across an unusual piece of wiring in my house yesterday. The wiring which feeds the bedroom sockets is a normal ring for the most part - goes from CU to socket to socket to socket ... and back to the CU. However two sockets in one room are fed from a pair or spurs from a junction box.
I hope this will explain it better:
All cables throughout are 2.5mm T&E, and the ring is on a 30A breaker.
Judging by how tight one of the cables is, I think someone in the past has cut into the ring and added the junction box and the spurs.
Anyway, it seems unusual but is it "wrong"?
Thanks,
Mark
