There is always power going to the tub. The idea is that if you start adding spurs to spurs etc... and loading each spur to the max then the length of cable from the first is at risk of overheating\loading. It's a blanket rule that has always been adhered to, even though one spur with 13A on it equates to 13 spurs with 1A each on them it's not the done thing. In the future someone could come along without knowing this and start loading up all the spurs and overload the first leg of the spurs. -- SJW Please reply to group or use 'usenet' in email subject Gotcha, thanks for your help. I checked the hot tub its currently plugged into a weather proof outside single socket with RCD protection and its rated at 13AMP so the FCU option should be fine. cheers again Richard |
