Another reason would be if one larger cable from the consumer unit goes to feed a smaller cables in the form of a ring - a lollipop circuit. Would be worth evaluating what this kitchen socket circuit is before trying to add to it.

again the pebbles are easy. bag them up, get the kid to help if they're old enough. Free adds The tree looks a bit lollipop like but would look 100% better if just allowed to grow out. It might give decent shade depending on orientation? I'd give any big change like that a year before doing it.

True, even though I don't understand the reason for the distinction between PVC and MICC cables! I acknowledged that things would be a bit different if it were not Method C 2.5mm² T+E. Sure, but you're merely talking about a (rare) reason why some sockets might be close to the end of a ring...

...method 101 or better, we don't actually know. As I said to start with I see no problem in real terms, but there are exceptions, the lollipop ring for example, using 4 mm² or 6 mm² to take the supply to kitchen then form a ring means the sockets close to the cooker connection unit or other...

...as everything else - and that what the OP wanted to do was 'separate off' the part of the ring in the kitchen and feed just that bit (as a lollipop circuit) from the ex-shower cable. However, I suppose you might be right that he was talking about getting rid of all the current wiring of...

It could, in theory, certainly be done. What you ended up with would not, strictly speaking, be a 'ring circuit' but, rather a 'lollipop' circuit (the shower cable being the 'stick' of the lollipop) - although that, in itself, would not be a problem. However, at least a couple of points ...

...(or, I suppose, two 2.5mm² cables in parallel), since it would be carrying all of the ring's load. What you would then end up with would, strictly speaking, not be a 'ring final circuit' any more but, rather, a 'lollipop circuit', but that is not really of any consequence. Kind Regards, John

Good god you know how to over-complicate things :D. There may of course only be three cables visible, maybe a fourth, perhaps for lighting, goes upwards in a different direction to the other three.

...would have to have either a 4mm² radial or 2.5mm² ring in the shed - and that would remain the case (other than that we would then call a 2.5mm² ring a 'lollipop' circuit) even without any MCB in the shed, wouldn't it. Lights etc. in the shed could obviously e fed via an FCU. Kind Regards...

2 x 32 amp and 1 x 6 amp and three cables so it seems possible wired as lollipop for ring or as a 32 amp radial, either way seems likely the cables are not 2.5 mm² but 6 mm² this does not stop taking a radial but not sure what maintenance free junction boxes there are for 6 mm² if any, so would...

If there were no local MCB, then, strictly speaking (I know you like that :-) ) "either 2.5mm² lollipop-circuit or 4mm² radial" :-) For what it's worth, I agree with everything else you say. Kind Regards, John

...15. Nor do I - as I must have reported before, that's exactly what I have in my cellar/workshop - a 'ring final' in the cellar supplied, lollipop-wise, by a re-purposed, no longer needed, (10mm²) cooker supply. As I keep saying, there is nothing wrong, per se, with a 4mm² unfused spur from a...

It was never called 2.9mm², 7/0.029" happened to be 2.98mm². 7/0.036" = 4.6mm² IIRC the official rating of 7/0.029 was something nearer to 20A and 7/0.036 was low 30's

...old cable could take 30 amp where the new cable could not, although since fuse wire never sure it was 30 amp. Although seen where ring fed lollipop fashion, to take power from the ring at centre using 4 mm² would be OK, but near the source it could cause an overload, so one would need to use...

Hi all, anyone know how to update above system to 5.0 lollipop or above ? Have tried check for updates in settings, it tells me I have most up to date available. Tablet is Lenovo A-7600f A10 new in 2016.Trouble is some newer apps won’t work. Do I have to root which I think may cause a few...

...can be added, however likely as DIY you don't have a loop impedance meter. So from the cooker circuit is likely a better option, and using lollipop design you can still fit a number of sockets. There is normally some way to get the power to the device, although it may require some thinking...

As I've said, it really depends upon the situation. For example, at least in my opinion, there are some situations in which a 'lollipop' circuit probably makes sense - which is essentially the ring-final-equivalent of your idea of taking a 6 mm² feed to the first socket of a radial. I have...

...down it at all! Sadly, I didn't take a piccy, but proceeded to scrape as much of it as I could out of the manifold with an old knife and lollipop stick. Last MOT, it only just passed the smoke emissions which is fair enough, it used to smoke like a dog when I booted it after I first got...

lollipop stick and some plasters.

...wall you will find you need around 100 meters of cable by time you include the drops and the 1/3 rule on drilling beams. We see the lollipop design but again although used can't find a regulation about its use, we talk about "current carrying capacity of the cable" which even with the same...
