[quote][i]Originally posted by Root[/i] Don't be put off the house because of this. A socket circuit is a ring circuit, which means it comes from the consumer unit, to the first socket, second socket, third, until the last socket, then loops back to the consumer unit. This is because it's usually wired in 2.5mm (iirc) and by making it a ring circuit, instead of radial, you are doubling the load capacity it can carry. On sockets, you can have "spurs" from sockets, which means, you can add a socket by tapping into an existing socket. You can only have 1 spur per socket. I don't know because I've drank and haven't read it properly, but it sounds like there COULD be 3 spurs from 1 socket? If so, remove 2 spurs because it's dangerous. You shouldn't need an electrician or a certificate for this work to be done. Also turn off leccy at breaker before doing any work, wear safety boots and use insulated screwdrivers. [/quote]
