Did a bit of rewiring to remove a bypass to an old light socket with exposed live pre-romex wiring. Probably left a few of my own no-nos for future home owners. Forgot to take pictures of the old wiring, but maybe thats for the best, it had been running a freezer for many years. You could just touch it at any time and zap yourself.
So why does the electric receptacle have two wires to it, are you feeding another receptacle or something from it?
It goes to a flourescent tube lamp and a lightswitch
I could not even understand the question you were asking until I did a quick web search…
TIL that the US doesn’t (often) use ring mains / ring circuits for domestic power point installations.
I didn’t know radial circuits were still a thing.
You must be in the UK?
Yeah in Canada and US the room size on most homes is large and we require a receptacle every 12 feet I think, so rather than a junction that spiders out to say 8 run receptacles that would require a lot of wire, we wire from receptacle to next one. So you are just doing 12 foot jumpers to each rather than say 30 foot individual from a ceiling junction down to each wall location.
There’s probably pros and cons to each style.
