Hi,
I want to add a new socket in a bedroom and have gone to the nearest socket to add a spur, but the socket only has 1 cable to it. How can I tell whether this is already a spur or the end of a radial without lifting floorboards etc?
Thanks

Spur or end of a radial???

Well, do you have any radial socket circuits from your consumer unit in the first place? If so, trip them off and see if that socket goes dead.
ESP ??? :-)
2 other radial circuit clues - either it should be fed by fairly heavy 4mm cable or it should be on a fuse rated at only 20 amps.
Thanks for the help with this. Where my house has been extended twice I have a number of spurs off the ring circuit.
Thanks again.
