Yes I still call it a ring main, is that what is now called a ring final? What is a radial?
I must admit ring main as the main ring of wires in a room makes more sense to me than ring final.
I understand the reason for a ring is so that if one wire fails along the ring somewhere, especially the earth, there is still a good chance the earth will still be good around the other side of the ring.
Does final refer to the end of the set of wires or is it still made in a loop that goes back to the main fuse board at both ends?
Basically is a ring final just another name for a ring main or not? What is a radial?
Can you now have spurs off spurs 'cos that sounds like anarchy or "butchered to within an inch of its existence." as one reply states and to me difficult to test and work on as I am discovering from the club house I am trying to 'tidy up'.
