Historical question WRT 15 amp sockets.

broadgage

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.

    It has been decided to leave the existing wiring largely as is. Works fine, insulation resistance and earth loop tests all good. New 25 amp fuse wire fitted in each fuse carrier.

    Where the existing socket outlets do not meet present day needs, then extension leads, rather reluctantly. Installing extra outlets is not realistic in most areas due to an historic interior.
