Unfused spur.

Zoomup
Hello All,


Could an unfused R.C.D. protected spur, from a complient ring final circuit, supplying a single outdoor socket via 1.5mm2 6242Y cable of max. length 300mm through a brick wall from an indoor socket outlet be considered compliant?

    Vaguely, ages ago in a church I think, I'm sure I have seen a small ring done in 1.5mm2 pyro, which induced a similar toe curling (but then 'no it is OK') response.

    If it was a fused spur or indeed  1.5mm2 cable on an 13Aplug for an extension lead I'd have no issue, and unless you think someone will use one of those awful unfused 13A 2 way splits, a single socket is the same really.

    It is another one for  that not yet published book of unapproved circuit layouts that work OK in practice.

    Mike.
