Electrical distribution question

[Ianhaycox]

I've been reading the book, L'installation électrique, regarding the different methods of getting light and power from the loft to various rooms. Am I allowed under NF C 15-100 to use a star configuation ? The book is not very clear.

To explain, without pictures, if I had three rooms each requiring two sockets am I allowed to have a single power feed from the tableau to the loft, then in a boite derivation (or boite de combles) drop three separate spurs (one to each room) with two sockets each daisy chained off each other. Make sense ?

If I can't use lots of separate spurs from a central 'distribution box' then do I have to daisy chain all the sockets up and down all the studding walls from room to room ?

Thanks,

My answer to that question would be yes. Provided you use the correct size cable and do not exceed the maximum number of sockets (8) allowed on one supply, ie the cable from the ‘box to the loft, there is no problem.

That would be my uderstanding too. It's the NUMBER of sockets per feed cable that's important.

Try these two then:

"Maitriser l'Electricite", and/or "L'Electricite Pas a Pas".

Both in soft back, both mine bought from Leclerc for a few Euros, both having more diagrams than text.

With a French dictionary handy, you'll get lots from them, especially if you already have a BASIC knowledge of wiring.
