Just 'cos we've never done it, nor considered doing it, doesn't mean it's not right! Rather than blindly reading and (mis)interpreting the regs. it's good to think about these things sometimes.
It's clear that this is not covered specifically in the regs. One the plus side, there are no current carrying capacity problems using 4mm. On the down side there's wonky ring syndrome. Now correct me if I am wrong, but I could fit 4 fused spurs off 4 adjacent sockets quite happily and 'correctly' and unbalance me ring.
must be an awful feeling to have one's ring unbalanced.LOL> seiously. valid point there. it's only recently that the trade has been questioning the use of ring finals. rings have been used for socket circuits for years, just because that's the way we've always done it. ( well, since the war when copper was in short supply).it is good to question why things are done in a certain way. it's called progress.
