[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 245568, member: 175235"] In your ring diagram I think both ends connect back to the fuse box (in the diagram they seem to join before meeting the box). Anyway if it isn't a ring, then your idea sounds like it might work. I doubt what you are doing will meet building code, and as for connecting it all back up when you are finished, watch out if you are cutting the wire from the fuse box. I'm not sure about the UK (someone might be able to confirm) but in some countries all junctions and joins in cables must be exposed or accessible, so if you plan on just joining the wire with an inline junction and pushing it back in the wall behind the fuse box this would fail an inspection (should it ever actually be inspected). Avoid adding junctions and sockets that you really don't need to. Also I wouldn't do it before you get your new meter, the guy fitting it might not like the look of the UPS box, oh, and don't kill yourself. I know this sounds fun, but is it actually worth it? BTW I'm not an electrician of any kind, and completely unqualified to advise on any of this. [/QUOTE]
