Thought I had best check up on this before I do it ...
I need to connect three low voltage spot lights with three transformers to the main lighting circuit.
Can I do use a junction box to link the mains feed to each individual spot? This means that there will be four sets of twin and earch going into the junction box (I need to extend the T&E to the transformer position for each fitting).
How should I wire all four T&E's into the junction box? Had a quick look at one today - the sort where you get four terminals around the outside and two in the middle. Its going to be a pain to connect all four into the two terminal blocks in the middle - am I looking at the wrong type of junction box? Is it acceptable to bridge the terminals to allow me to connect 2 lives and 2 neutrals at the top of the box and 2 at the bottom bridged together?
Also, how should I terminate the earth from the mains feed. This isnt needed for the transformers. I presume I should terminate it inside the junction box on a spare terminal. Is it acceptable to just cut it short and not use it?
I havent started this work yet before I get told off for not knowing what I am doing!!
Thanks in advance,
CM.
