Hi all,
I'm replacing our kitchen. Just a minor electrical question since I was about to crack on and do something before I stopped and had a rare, sensible, moment and thought I'd better ask about this one before I do something silly.
Anyway - simple situation.
The old cooker hood/fan was wired to the downstairs sockets ring main which is on a 32A breaker. This circuit appears to be 2.5mm T&E I think.
Power for the old hood was taken from a fused spur at the point in the photo below. You can see the old socket cut out in the wall.
Although the new hood is going in almost the exact same place, my wife wants me to move the spur & switch about 1m to the left, so that it'll be accessed from within the cupboard.
I have a feeling that it won't suffice to use some terminal block and connect the 2x reds & 2x blacks to the brown & blue of my new 2.5mm cable burying in a chocblock and plastering over.
How do I best connect this up safely?
Obviously I want to avoid requiring fused protection in this location, as that would defeat the object.
Cheers in advance for anyones help
