Hi
I seem to have a number of sockets in my garage that all come off of the main garage socket. One leads to the next.
I have been advised that it would be safer (less risk of overload) if I converted this into a ring main. Is this so?
If so, how do I do it. Is it just a case of taking wires from the last circuit back to the Consumer box? Do these wire back into the terminals of the original socket on the consumer box. To access them presumably I turn everything off and then take the front off the consumer box.
I am getting more confident at doing things like this and want to have a go.
Or would I get prosecuted for doing this under new regs.
Thanks
