According to wiki, the UAE, Singapore and Indonesia use ring final circuits.
here in ireland n our latest regs ring circuits are not allowed in kitchens anymore and two radials must be provided
So what's the dumb reason behind little cracker then??
God knows ,id say its because more things can go wrong with a ring final cct compared to a radial
Like what?? These would both be new circuits supposedly installed to the current Regs/codes by, one would hope competent electricians!!!
More like Ireland has the same problem as the UK, to many fast track wanna-be electricians that aren't competent in testing or fault finding anything except on single length's of cable...
i find the friction terminal screw tunnels on new mk gear a real chore tbh.
If an open circuit occured on the ring and is unnoticed then effectively it is two radial on a 32 amp mcb wired in 2.5
or
mr. d.i.y. could mix up ends into different mcbs (even though d.i.y.ers shouldn't attempt this sort of thing)
All sparks here have to do a 4 year apprenticeship
