I think the only thing you're missing is that everyone is being ultra conservative/cautious and assuming the worst possible case scenario ... if the circuit were 'fully loaded' and the entire load was concentrated very close to one end of the ring, then the current in one leg of the ring could 'approach' 32A. In reality, of course, the design assumption (given a good design) is that the current will not exceed 20A in any part of the ring, and I'm sure that's nearly always the case in practice.[I'm wondering why everyone is thinking that 32 A is flowing through the conductors? (i.e. through the OPs connection block) .... The current through one leg of a ring final is not going to be 32 A - or am I missing something??
Kind Regards, John.
You've got to be kidding.
you'ld have to have TWO double socket outlets located about one metre from the CU, both with significant loads on them.............and then the OPs blanking plate/connectors within that one metre of T&E.
I assume we're talking about the real world, not the extreme scenarios anyone can think up.
C'mon, John, you were thinking 32A flowing around the ring, weren't you??
