It happens that TheScullster formulated :
Hi all

I am looking at broadband and one or two other bits and pieces.
In the loft I have 2 3A switched fused spurs off the upstairs lighting
circuit.

I am likely to need 3/4 supplies up the
Network switch
Router/modem
TV splitter
A N Other

Will one 3A feed supply two of these?
If so, can I hard wire a 2 gang extension into each of the spurs and label
them clearly "for ???? use only"?

Surely if someone tried to plug a kettle in(?) anyway, it would simply result
in a blown fuse?

TIA

Phil

Dodgy area, so it needs the application of a little common sense. A
single 3amp outlet would be more than capable of supplying all of
those, except perhaps the A N Other.

Hard wire a single switched, fused spur unit with flex outlet into the
lighting supply. Fit a 3amp fuse in the spur, cut the plug off one of
those four way 13 amp socket outlets and wire it directly into the
spur. 3 amps should more than take care of all of your needs.

Mark the spur as 'max fuse rating 3amp' and perhaps leave a spare 3 amp
fuse taped to it, also mark the 4way 'max total load 3amp'.
