I've been working in a Victorian semi. I was asked by the client to take a look at the wiring for the kitchen ring final - in particular the state of the wiring under the floor boards.
What I found was a mass of cables connected into two 30A screw-terminal junction boxes. On closer examination there was the ring final (kitchen) to sockets and an oven, a second ring connected to four sockets in a dining room, a third ring connected to a single socket elsewhere in the kitchen and a fourth ring connected to yet another socket. Clearly the work of some clown I suspect - unless I've misunderstood some really neat way of wiring ring finals that isn't covered by any of the regulations/publications I've read...
Now I've never come across this before. I wondered whether any of you out there have and what the record for ring finals all connected in parallel might be?
