An unswitched fused spur is a type of electrical connection device that provides a means to connect a fixed appliance to the electrical supply while incorporating a fuse for protection. It typically features a fused connection unit (FCU) without an on/off switch, which is ideal for appliances that should be permanently connected to prevent accidental disconnection. Commonly used in situations where safety and reliability are paramount, such as with boilers or other essential equipment, it helps ensure that the appliance remains powered while still allowing for circuit protection.

Extensions to a ring-main are made by running a spur from the nearest socket.

yes but fused wire is safer.

A spur becomes necessary in electrical installation when additional power outlets are needed beyond the existing circuit capacity. It is typically used to extend an existing circuit to provide power to appliances or devices in locations that lack sufficient outlets. A spur must be properly fused to ensure safety and comply with electrical regulations, and it should not exceed the load capacity of the existing circuit.
In the UK, a spur from a ring main can typically accommodate one or two sockets. If you connect two sockets, they should be wired in a way that does not exceed the total load capacity of the circuit. It's important to ensure that the spur is fused appropriately, typically using a 13A fuse, to prevent overloading. Always consult current electrical regulations and consider hiring a qualified electrician for installation.
