    Ring Final Circuit advise query

    Hi guys, Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the following. I had to change a CU in a hoarders property in January which proved to be quite a challenge. CU was damaged with accessible live parts so I had no choice. Clutter was extreme with hardly any access to some rooms so couldn't get...

    Distribution of load on a ring final for Voltage drop calcs?

    Just pondering my voltage drop calcs for a fused spur off a ring final. Additional circuit will be around 15-20m long so I though I should do this properly.... My problem is calculating the voltage drop in the existing ring to the point of the spur which of course depends on distribution of...

    Continuity of ring final circuit conductors

    Why is it when you cross connect the conductors at each leg and then test continuity, the result is one quarter of the combined resistances of the legs? I am usually pretty good at seeing how/why calculations work out, but just cannot in this case get my head around why the value measured is a...

When the tenant installed LED bulbs there seemed to be a dim glow from the bulbs. The bulbs are 240V 2W. When the switches are off there is 47V at the fittings. Can...

    Separation of circuits 314.4

    Hello, I'm doing a periodic inspection and am unsure weather to fault this, I have a generator which is the source of my supply, this then feeds two main distribution panels out of the main switch. So there is two 3 phase supply cables out of one MCCB. Does 314.4 come into play or does it...

    Dangers of ring final circuit

    Hi i have been set some home work from college to find out why ring final circuits are dangerous. I know the obvious that if one leg on the ring breaks it will not be a full ring and the 32 amp mcb will be too big for the cable as it will only be able to carry about 20 amps with out it been a...

    Downstairs sockets

    The house I recently purchased has got the downstairs s/o on one circuit. There are 4 in the kitchen and 4 in the lounge. Does the kitchen need to be a seperate circuit? To me it seems daft just having 4 s/o on one circuit.:rolleyes2:

    Slightly high Zs on large ring circuit

    Hi all, I did a PIR yesterday at a largeish house (150m2). there is only 1 ring final circuit for all house sockets. Zs was 1.25ohms, vs 1.16 permitted maximum value. there is an RCD so additional protection in theory although the RCD did not disconnect at 5x 30 ma test. I will obviously...

    Led glow

    Installed led spotlight on landing controlled by 2 way switch. When switched off it continues to glow. Presumably this is an induced voltage in the strapper. Is there any cure or even any need to cure it?
