In electrical terms, a spur refers to a branch circuit that diverges from a main circuit, typically used to supply power to a specific device or load. It is commonly seen in wiring systems, such as in lighting or power distribution, where a spur connects directly to the main circuit to provide additional outlets or fixtures. Properly designed spurs ensure that the electrical load is balanced and that the circuit operates safely within its capacity.
Spur
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.
A spur outlet is a circuit that does not have a secondary path and is not part of the main ring. Spur sockets can have one cable connected to earth, live, and neutral.

spur evolves from spurious terminology.In electrical terminology it is denoted by a range of frequency through which any electrical circuit (specaially in case of RF and microwave circuits) is operated.
A spur is an extension connected from some point along the main circuit of an electrical installation. Spurs are sometimes called 'tees'.
An electrical spur typically consists of a single socket outlet wired into an existing circuit, allowing additional electrical devices to be connected. It usually features a rectangular or square plastic faceplate with one or more sockets, and may include a switch for controlling power. The wiring is generally concealed within the wall, leading to a junction box or directly from the main circuit. Overall, it resembles a standard wall socket but is specifically intended for extending power to new locations.
this is a cable that is connected to a ring to supply electrical energy to one or more socket.
The Diamond Spur Rodeo was held annually in Spokane, WA. It was part of a circuit of rodeos in the Pacific Northwest including Ellensburg Roundup, Omak Stampede and the Pendelton Roundup.
A device or circuit that provides power to the rest of the circuit or system is called a power supply,
The load that is connected to the circuit is what draws the power of the electrical circuit.
