Historical question WRT 15 amp sockets.

ISTR that in an old edition of the then IEE regs, that two socket outlets each of the unfused 15 amp type could be connected to a 25 amp fuse.

Have found a number wired thus in a large old house. Possibly pre-war, wired in MICC and still in good condition.

  • Where would you get a 25 amp fuse from? I've never seen such a beast maybe 2 bits of 10 amp wire and one of 5 all twisted together all seems a bit hit and miss for Mr average householder
