Max floor area of a ring main?

[Crosswire]

I always thought that you were allowed "unlimited socket outlets within 100m Sq."

I got told today that if the floor area was above 75m Sq it required an addittonal ring and this was the "new Regs" .

Is this correct?

What does your BG tell you?

 

[telectrix]

BG will tell him it's dangerous and needs replacing, before putting the socket tester away.

Haven't got the the Green regs yet still, using the Red ones.

Don't suppose there's any danger of a helpful reply, no?

 

[telectrix]

is this helpful.. 75sq.m. = bullsh!te. IMO.

After announcing that on this forum, I would get your tin hat out if I were you. :sad3:

Just to be helpful - nothing has changed with 'historical' rec's - but that has been frowned upon by anyone who is familiar with modern demands on a ring. I'ts not rocket science to know that as telectrix says, it's bull. Use initiative and calcs.

Hi Crosswire
As you can probably tell, the general consensus here is that the info you've been given is bull poo.
is there a job you're on with more than said floor space? also, who told you this duff info?

Thanks for that, I though so but wanted confirmation
