Lights Supplied by 30 Amp Ring Final. B.S. 3036 Fuse.

HellOOOoooo All,


I came across a strange one today. I went to change a faulty touch dimmer switch for an ordinary light switch. I discovered that the two lights controlled by the switch did not originate at the lighting circuit, but from a 30 Amp wire fused ring final. The supply was connected to an old metal double socket box below the light switch, in an added conservatory, with a blank plate over it. I can not add a fused connection unit as the box is a double socket box. The blank plate is covered by a small easily removed panel convector heater. I was considering installing an inline fuse holder in the double socket box for the lighting circuit. The lamps are low energy types so overloading is very unlikely, but faults may occur.


Thoughts please.

  • Official extractor timer fan instructions....


    Electrical 220-240V - AC. 50Hz Single Phase consuming 7 Watts. These fans are double insulated and do not require an earth. All wiring must comply with current IEE regulations. A double pole isolating switch, having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles, must be used with a 3 amp fuse fitted. The fan must not be accessible to a person using either the shower or bath and mounted a minimum of 1.8 metres from the floor.
