spurring more than 1 socket off the ring.

Just a really quick question.
When you spur off the ring with more than one socket, then a fused spur must be used.
Question I have is, does the spur need to go next to the new socket or the spurred socket...
And what if there is no room near either.


Thanks

ah, but i doubt the answer will be as quick

correct

Question I have is, does the spur need to go next to the new socket or the spurred socket...

not necessarily, but it should be the first port-of-call for the new cable leaving the existing socket

And what if there is no room near either.

you need to find another solution, sorry

Thanks

You can put the fuse at some physically intermediate point if you want - It doesn't have to be adjacent to either the original socket or the new one on the spur.

Or do not install a spur. Why not extend the ring? Then no FCU is required.

See //www.diynot.com/wiki/electrics:extend_ring
for how to do it.
