Easy question for most here? On a schedule of circuit details, does a double socket outlet class as a 1 or 2 points served? Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, there is only 3 doubles on the circuit, but it's nice to get it right on the form!!

 
Cheers for this flying scotsman. I had an idea this was the answer.

 
oh oh oh,

Im just gonna sit in the corner on this one,

and wait for all the replies.

as for my tuppence worth,

it is ONE point of termination,

but it is TWO points of connection.

make of that what you will,

I wouldnt even like to start telling anyone what it is, 1 or 2.

Circuit details

Number of points served:Record the number of items of current-using equipment or socket-outlets on the circuit.
Personally I always put a double socket as "1", i.e. as per One termination of the circuit cable!? :eek: :x :p;\ ; \ :| ?:| ? :|

 
A single, double or one of those 3-way or 4-way converters is one point surely. All of them are only designed for 13 Amps maximum load.

 
cooker cct = 1 point

cooker cct with integral socket on the cooker switch = 2 points

 
i clarified this question a while ago.

A double socket is classed as one outlet :)

That I can understand. After all you need to add extra to diversity for a cooker switch socket. (Pointless in my view however. That being, installing a cooker switch socket nowadays)
