[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 485484, member: 1408"] Just check the max load on the ring first , could be quite high being a workshop , who knows ! Might only be one guy in there. Some sparks will lose control of their bowels if you spur off but theres nothing wrong with it if you follow the regs & common sense . Specially domestic jobs. If its a conduit installation and you're adding along the run , then open the ring up , slot in the new plugs & rewire all on the ring . If its an odd one here & there , spur it off without derating . If you want to add , as you said , multiple sockets , say three twins as a branch , light usage , insert an unswitched spur which would protect that line at 13A . Let us know how you get on with it .
