Default Can a ring main spur start at the consumer unit.

He is taking a cable into a CU with a spare mcb slot. All he has to do
is
buy an mcb and keep that circuit separate.


It is not a good idea to have a stray socket on the wrong circuit, as it
can
lead to electrocution when the wrong circuit is disabled. Subdivision of
circuits should be thought about and executed on a logical system. You
don't
just put a single socket on its own MCB just because you can.

Neat and easy and not ramming too many cables into one terminal.


Have you ever installed a modern consumer unit?


Yep.
