Hi, this question is really to satisfy my curiosity. As part of a kitchen revamp I changed the 13 amp plug sockets. What I found has left me a bit bewildered. Behind 2 of the 3 two gang sockets (there are 3 in all) I found, as expected, two cables; on the third there were 3. The kitchen ring is isolated from the rest of the ground floor and I suspected that the third cable was the live feed into the ring, so far so good. What surprised me was, despite my logic saying otherwise, not one but two of the cables were live. To my way of thinking once the feed is separated the remaining two would be dead. Can you please tell me what is wrong with my logic process. Many thanks
