No, that's a plug. Only the top of it is a plug top.
Well, that one is even sillier - although headed 'plug top', the illustration is clearly of a 'plug bottom'<piccie>
Not in terms of the 'informative guidance' of Appendix 15 of the regs - but in terms of electricity and common sense, a single socket and an FCU (with a 5A fuse, as proposed by the OP) would not even be ' as bad' as a double socket (as 'allowed' by that guidance).
So is something else in the current edition which has been removed from the prescriptive "thou shalt"/"thou shalt not" category and relegated to an "informative guidance" appendix?Please tell us which regulation forbids it.But you cannot have a socket and a fused connection unit on one spur.
I was thinking of 4.00mm, however will face issued with 2x 2.5mm and 1x 4mm cables in the back of a socket.
As I've told you before, there is now hardly any proscriptive details about ring finals in the regs themselves - basically just minimum cable CSA and CCC and OPD size - whatever else is said about ring finals (and, indeed, many corresponding things about radial circuits) is in the 'informative guidance' of Appendix 15. ... so, if all those things were once in the regs proper then, yes, they have been 'relegated'.So is something else in the current edition which has been removed from the prescriptive "thou shalt"/"thou shalt not" category and relegated to an "informative guidance" appendix?
Yes, but what's that in terms of design current?Double socket with probably a dryer plugged into it. Un-switched spur to feed 2x lights, 60w bulb and 400w floodlight.
I presume his point was that the product (only the bottom of which was shown in the piccie) was described as a "plug top".Your point is?
And my point is that just because one can produce photographs where people claim something is a certain thing that does not mean that it is.I presume his point was that the product (only the bottom of which was shown in the piccie) was described as a "plug top".
Why do you say that?A spur on a ring can have one double socket or one FCU but NOT both.
Because it well known to be in the regs. Don't ask me where, I don't have a copy.Why do you say that?A spur on a ring can have one double socket or one FCU but NOT both.
That was my point, too.And my point is that just because one can produce photographs where people claim something is a certain thing that does not mean that it is.I presume his point was that the product (only the bottom of which was shown in the piccie) was described as a "plug top".
