Hi everyone, hope you can help.
I am trying to bring all my equipment together in a cupbord in the 1st floor lounge. My question relates to providing the power for everything. The wiring is all over the place in the house and I dont want to risk running so much stuff off one of the existing sockets. A couple of years ago we did get a new rcb fuse board installed and I have a spare fuse/slot. In preperation for a sparky to connect everything, I want to run the cables to the fuse board (not connect !!) downstairs. This will save the sparky time and me money. So, my question is, do I just need 1 wire from the fuse board to then supply 6 double sockets, daisy chained if you get my meaning, or do I need to create some kind of ring, returning the wire back to the board ? The wiring route is possible, but complicated, and any help and advice would be appreciated. I have searched everywhere, but to no avail so far. Thanks in advance for your help. Oh and sorry if this is in the wrong section, mods please feel free to move if appropriate.
