    radial and ring

    Hi everyone I've come across a weird situation where somebody has got new sockets added, but from the board it is a radial in 6mm as there is one set of cables into the breaker, then when you look at the sockets (2 double sockets) it's got 2, 2.5mm cables going into both like it's a ring Does...

    2.5mm on a 32a radial or not?

    Hi I recently ripped out a ring final circuit out of an old Proteus 3ph board. Customer only wanted a single 2G socket replaced. The MCBs are obsolete so I had to re use the C32 used originally supplied the ring. can I use 2.5mm cable? 32A radial but with 2.5mm cable- not something you would see...

    Radial circuit and the use of spurs

    I currently have an integral garage fed by a radial circuit protected by a 32A MCB and wired with 4mm T&E cable. This feeds just two power points in the garage (and nothing else). i wish to redesign this circuit to provide several more power points and would like to check whether my proposed...

    Using jb's for multi point lighting radial

    Since doing a bit of digging am i right in thinking that using jb's to branch off from a radial circuit for a single switch and associated lights is considered "old hat" nowdays. ?? Ive read the 17th ed recommends jb's be of the maintenance free type is they are non accessible, which is all...

    Spuring off one socket

    I have one single socket on its own from a consumer unit. (10A) (no ring) Can I swap this to a double and then spur off another double from it? It means there will be an equal number of spurs than there are sockets which I have been told is a no no. Is this true? Thanks in advance

    Radial Circuit off a Spur

    I seem to have located a radial circuit in the loft conversion. The Circuit is the Ring circuit from the Middle Floor which supplies only 4 single sockets on the Middle Floor, 2 single sockets in each room. In Each room there is a ring circuit and a spur. My Problem is when i Removed 1 of the...

    Schuko Sockets

    Are schuko (continental Europe) sockets installed on a 10, 16 or 20amp MCB? Schuko plugs have no fuse, so a 32 amp ring or radial would be illegal?

    2.5mm2 Ring Final Circuit vs 4.0mm2 Radial

    I recently read an article about the advantages of both the RFC and Radial circuits, after which I must admit that I am more swayed towards the Radial. What are others thoughts? What do you prefer and why?

    Volt drop calcs on ring main

    Hi Guys, I'm not into design etc and never have been really but how do you calculate volt drop on a distribution ring main circuit? Ring circuit say covering a large area supplying various loads/buildings. I was thinking split the ring and work it out as 2 x radial circuits, but 1 radial may...

    Hybrid circuits

    Morning all, been pondering quite a bit lately about Hybrid circuits,especially 13amp socket circuits, the likes of lolly pop rings etc. I don't want to get into arguments about the pros and cons and why people install them, that's been done to death, whether, I personally agree with this...

    Australian Plugs

    Hi, I had a nice little job of cutting 20 Australian plugs off appliances etc the other day and replacing with uk plugs... It occurred to me though, none of them had fuses?.. I have no idea how it works down under and just wondered if someone would kindly tell me why the appliances are not fused.

    immersion on a non dedicated radial

    I went to a job that the owner felt was a bodged job. It was basically a radial circuit wired at the start in 4.0mm T&E, and then it goes to a few sockets that is supplying a washing machine and tumble drier. From there it goes upstairs to the airing cupboard where it feeds a single switched...

    Ring or Radial....?

    Hi all, Im am soon to be installing 4 double sockets and possible 2 wall lights in a new conservatory. Was going to extend downstairs ring but a tad awakward and I'm not a lover of junction boxes if they can be avoided. The consumer unit isn't too far so just as easy to install a new circuit...
