CAVEAT - PART P and safety will be observed, but my curiosity is getting the better of me and I want to *KNOW* how to do it. A professional will actually do it.

There. Got that out of the way.

Got a question about about switched fused spurs.
Say I've got an existing ring main and I want to add a switched spur to the ring. From this spur I can then feed one more socket. I'm struggling to get my head around the maintaining of the ring. My brain seems to think that by putting the spur in line with the ring wiring, I'll just be adding a switch to break the circuit. Not what is required biggrin
Here's a current demo -



The reason is so that the switched spur can be on "view" above a counter, but the socket under the counter can be utilised for a washing machine .

Anybody care to point me to a link that shows me the wiring from the rear of the spur's perspective? I've got a drawn circuit diagram, but it's the putting into practice that seems to be getting away from me.

I must stress that this is for my curiosity only as we've got contractors in doing our kitchen, but not at the weekend, and I've got time to kill trying to understand it before I watch the rugby! biggrin

Thanks in advance,

DAn
