So you'd be happy with this arrangement too Yes I totally agree we desperately NEED to get back to our electricians understanding what they are doing and not just blindly following the leader as so many do and it's demonstrated by how many idiots post videos of 'how good I am' on youtube...

I certainly do not disagree. All you have done is turned the red bit into the 'loop' of a a lollipop circuit (with no apparent advantage) - but it remains true that the red bits are totally compliant with BS 7671 (nothing in BS 7671 says that one can't turn a radial into a ring, but adding a...

I see nothing in the regs which say that they cannot or should not be used, provided that the CSA of the cable forming the 'stick' of the lollipop (i.e. from OPD to 'the ring' is adequate - which will usually require it to have a greater CSA than the cable of the ring' itself. I have one is my...

...the extra sockets in, and since there was an electrician on site it seems highly unlikely it was a DIY job. There has been debate about lollipop systems, when I did my C&G 2391 I was taught to test for them, and to list as a fault, however I can find no regulation to say should not be used...

Indeed. The latter is the obvious first step - if there is only one cable at the origin, it cannot be a ring (but it could, I suppose, be a 'lollipop' circuit). If there are two cables, then, as you say, continuity tests will establish whether it is an (intact) ring (rather than two radials...

...mins. So I ended up with J1 on, J2 off, J3 on, J4 off, J5 off, J6 on, J7 on (Which means jamming off) I might try it on, if no problems. I can see why Yale moved on from the jumpers - Fiddle f@rt things ! 35 Deg in Suffolk now, so time for a lollipop & a siesta :mad: It went up to 38.1 deg...

I would need to inspect this wall for plumb, level, gauge and condition of the pointing first, to confirm suitability for this use. It would probably fail the inspection. :cautious:

Fascist! Come the revolution, comrade, you'll be first against the wall - along with the dog walkers and the lollipop ladies with their placards telling us all to stop children!

...poo and are hollow around the lock area. Are there any products on the market that would act like a rawlplug for this situation? The current method of stuffing the hole with cocktail/lollipop sticks is imo not good enough and they soon come out again. Any suggestions (bar replacing the...

...X 13A you would be OK provided the socket terminations were rated for the current received via ring/radial/joint box combination. Hence the lollipop (or Lassoo) circuit which some frown on but perfectly acceptable, often a result of creating a new kitchen ring from a redundant cooker circuit

I did mine as a variation on the 'lollipop' circuit - 6mm^2 from the OCPD to the switch & the two legs of the 2.5mm^2 ring leaving the switch terminals. I'm sure you can get a mechanically latched contactor - one 'pulse' to latch it ON & a second to release the latch. The coil consuming no...

...outside then. (Probably not right time) I used hand shears and hedge cutters, and a bow saw... everything grew back a treat. I did mine lollipop style by cutting off the lower branches and moving up yearly. so most of the growth was in the top third. I needed A scaffolding tower/ladders...

Assuming there is just a hole and no wiring in the area, several lollipop sticks with a bit of string on the centre. Mix some filler and use your finger to coat the inside perimeter with filler and shove the sticks upwards, using the string to pull both sides into the wet filler. Allow to dry...

There was no thoughs at all about upgrading, only fixing the non conforming installation,

Fair enough, and that's certainly what I would have suggested (unlike some, I personally have no particular problem with 'lollipop' circuits - and, indeed, have some in my house). Quite part from the fact that it may represent the 'contentious in some people's eyes" circuit we have been...

Whether hypothetical or not it was certainly considered as a solution for this incorrectly switched ring: To this parallel fed parallel fed radial: But we settled on this parallel fed ring circuit (lollipop circuit):

...it was as you describe. She hates revving engines because she thinks it "hurts" them. I was scooping this gunge out with a teaspoon, lollipop stick, you name it! Sadly, I never got round to taking a photo before I started, but there was a lot more than this! That, on its own, (well, and...

I think I've confused this with another thread as I thought something like this had been suggested. As winston says the 30A fuses will take longer than the 32A MCB to trip, the same is potentially true for the 15A fuse too. If you wish to retain additional protection in the garage you will do...

...MCBs are much faster. Just get rid of the local fuse box and connect all the sockets on one ring starting and ending where the SWA enters. This is known as a lollipop circuit. Run your lights from a switched FCU with a 5 amp fuse from the same ring. The switch can double as your light switch.

...methods, this is how I got around the problem in mothers house. In the main a cooker uses a 32 amp supply, so most likely is what we call a lollipop, where the ring is taken from the cooker supply, easy way to connect is a double cooker outlet which will allow the large likely 4mm² or 6mm²...
