Some time ago I fitted a new socket outlet in my son's bedroom. I had no desire to go into the wall and hook into the existing ring main so I decided to tap in somewhere else. Basically I tapped into the immersion heater supply in the airing cupboard, (fused 30amp at the consumer unit). Then I went through a 13amp fused spur, then up into the attic, and then down into the bedroom using mini trunking, and finally connected an RCD protected double socket. Everything fine.
Now I need to do the same in my daughter's room. My question is, if I wire in parallel from the feed to the socket in my son's room do I need to use another RCD protected socket? Or will the RCD in my son's room provide protection for a regular parallel socket.
Safety is paramount of course but I don't want to spend 20 odd quid on another RCD socket if I don't need to.
Incidentally the sockets are only for hi-fi/TV so I doubt the combined load will ever exceed 5 amps.
Thanks
