Do the wiring regulations permit a 13amp ring main spur to start at the
consumer
unit. i.e. The two ring main cables, and the spur cable would connect
together
at the consumer unit.


Why not put the spur on its own mcb for better protection, organisation
and
neatness, if you have a spare mcb slot of course.


Yes, - but I knew that I could do that! - I may have to if I can't get
three
wires into the fuse box terminal.

If the spare slot is there use it, and do it professionally.
