Sockets on a 2.5t+e radial

[IRB]

what would be the max amount of sockets on a 2.5 T+E radial?

In theory the amount is limitless provided the correct overcurrent protection for the relevant cable is used.

What you are limited by is earth fault loop impedance and volt drop.

Also appendix 15 of BS 7671 says that as a rule of thumb a 20A socket outlet radial circuit should not serve a floor area greater than 50m squared.

only putting 6 doubles on a run of about 20m

With the appropriate fuse/MCB i.e 16A or 20A depending on factors, this will be fine.

Dont forget to think about additional RCD protection also.

20A mcb and 30mA rcd
