I assume from this that you follow the usual European (& American) practice of mixing lights and sockets on the same branch circuit.

You assume just right.


Would I be right in thinking that you use 16A fuses or breakers for each branch?

16 Amp is a very common size for main fuses. If you have a house which in heated with electrical radiators you may have 20. 10A are the standard fuse for light branches. Thanks to the 3-phase system we don’t need more. I get a bit confused when you say fuses or breakers. Do you sometimes use breakers (breaker is a type of switch in my World) instead of fuses?

Do you have rules specifying the maximum number of outlets per branch, or is this left to the discretion of the electrician?

It’s up to you. But you don’t want to blow the fuse when the whole branch is used so you have to spread them.
