Switched spur problem.

Question

I’ve changed the spur with a new one and followed how they were wired my problem is the spur is still live even though it’s switched off

Kosta · Answer

hi
that means the feed is wired to the load side and the load is in the supply try to change the wiring another way round ,but I suggest you let the qualified person fix that for you .

Meleisha · Answer

Make sure its wired correctly. The incoming Line conductor must be wired to IN side of the switch and not the LOAD side

Hello, to clarify the work you did was great to start but the way you have mixes the cable is now going to be more time consuming, the best way to sort this out is to split all the cables in groups and make sure the power is off. Keep the cable all apert from one another and goup them, from here you shall need a tester or call an electrician to help you.

Andrew · Answer

Have you wired the incoming cable into the correct side? And the out going cable to the load side?

Connor · Answer

Hello, sounds like you have the supply and load in the same terminations which will mean the switch doesnt work. There should be an 'in' and an 'out' set of terminations on the back of the spur.

Francis · Answer

Double/triple check your connections are correct. Not all fused connection units are wired exactly the same.

Marco · Answer

make sure that the incoming power cable (brown) goes into the L (in) terminal bloc. then make sure the other brown cable goes to the L (out). follow the same principles for the neutral (blue cables). brown cables: L terminals. blue cables: N terminals. hope this helps

I think Hirst Electrical would've hit the nail on the head here. It'll be one of three things most likely.

That the feed (your incoming supply) is in the load side and the fcu (fussed connection unit) is simply designed differently to your other.

It's a faulty fcu (this can happen, even new)

If you're taking power from the ring, you maybe inadvertent mixed up the wires and split the ring both sides of the fcu causing the to be power both sides

Connor · Answer

Connections likely to be in reverse, unless you have the correct test equipment i would strongly advise hiring an electrician. Hope this helps 👍🏽

Yasin · Answer

Supply side is live unless you switch off from the main board, We got  fuse inside if you take it out will be off line conductor side 
Thanks 
hope it helps
