[QUOTE="Apache, post: 106170, member: 828"] 2.5mm ring main on a 30A MCB, break into ring 1 spur add three double sockets for new utitilyty room, washer, dryer, kettle, pannel heater Now we have a single run of 2.5mm pulling quite a lot of amps, and may overload the wire. Since a double socket is rated at only 13A (this has been discussed before at length) then that is your protection (I appreciate that you could physically connect more than 13A to a double socket) Simpler to say 'NO'!
