Hi Scott Its not good practice to run multiple spurs from one socket location What you need to do is get an electrician to extend the ring at that point and make the isolation switch part of the existing ringmain its a simple enough job Hope this helps Tom
Hi Scott First and foremost this should be done by an electrician, who will be able to properly assess the existing arrangement, and has the tools and knowledge to complete job safely. I assume the cooker you are tooling about has a total load of less than 3kw, otherwise it will not be suitable for an FCU. As general rule, assuming the circuit is a ring you can have no more Spurs than the number of sockets on the actual ring. So in theory one socket can supply two Spurs, however you would need to make sure the terminal capacity is not exceeded otherwise you will not get a good connection which will cause arcing and heat.
