Electrical Regs in Ireland (Dublin)

tattyinengland
Are there any Regs or conventions restricting the amount of sockets per circuit in Dublin?


Having just done Berlin, it seems that each circuit did one socket, and I rightly, or wrongly, added one socket in a radial fashion using BS8436.


I'm about to add to existing circuits again in Dublin and wondered if anyone had a copy of the irish regs or knew from experience?


Kind Regards

    What is a hamburger 2 way switch



    From memory, one light, two 2-way switches, but fewer wires than normal... each of the switches had L and N connected to L1 and L2 and COM to one side of the lamp (ditto for the other switch - mirror image as it were). When both switches "agreed" the lamp was fed with N+N or L+L so remained off, when they disagreed the lamp had L+N (or N+L) and so lit. If you happened to have a convenient source of L+N near each switch you only then needed a single wire from each switch to lamp to complete things.
