I can prove I'm not, can you? I think you've been here too long, you are getting to be very nasty man. And now showing your ignorance, just because you can't understand a circuit arrangement doesn't mean it is not allowed.

...idiot. Please state the regulation that states that readily accessable local isolators are a requirement. (not a mwhatson nice to have). The so called "Lollipop" arrangements are not accepted methods of providing final circuits. Please read, digest and understand BS7671 before you post again.

Alway fit readily accessable local isolators, and use lollipop circuits in kitchens.

That would be a 'lollipop' circuit, and, although not explicitly authorised by regs, it's difficult to see an electrical argument against it. However, once one has an RCD one needs an enclosure, so it might as well be a mini-CU with MCBs, thereby removing any scope for debate/argument! Kind...

There might be; some will argue about anything and everything. One would, and the problem with that (correctly done) is what? As you say, more involved; the advantage would be what? Yes, I didn't mention RCBOs as, for some reason, I was thinking that it was an older type CU where this might...

...However, there might be differing opinions about the method you suggest since, with a ring final circuit, one would be creating a 'mini-lollipop' design by installing a RCD downstream of the MCB/fuse. The 'cleaner', but more involved, solution would presumably be to install an additional...

...the two 4 mm² cables back together it would have stopped the problem with overload. In fact some times we have what is refereed to as the lollipop system where a heavy cable (6 mm²) takes power to some area like a kitchen then it with something like a double cooker connection unit turns into...

...nothing electrically wrong with that, and only fractionally more expensive in terms of cable. However, I would 'warn' you that, since a 'lollipop' circuit is very uncommon, it might confuse some electricians (particularly 'electricians'!) who inspected the installation in the future, and...

Give the man a gold star and a lollipop Well done

Hello John. An easier way to describe the alteration would be to say. Connect together the 3o'clock and 6o'clock points.

I still don't really understand, so maybe (despite what I just wrote!) BAS was right in saying that we need pictures. What are these things which "run physically close to each other". If you're talking about cables and one has negligible impedance, it must also have negligible length - so how...

...page but the extra cable in my model has negligible impedence. This is because they run physically close to each other due to the physical lollipop shape, even though electrically it is a one dimensional closed shape (so could be physically a square, circle, triangle, keyhole, lollipop) The...

I don't know whether I'd call it 'defining', but I was thinking of a bridge as having its ends connected on opposite sides of the midpoint of the ring. Your example below is not so much a 'bridge' in that sense but, rather, effectively reducing the CSA of one side of the ring. Agreed. I don't...

...at 6 o clock 2no load of 6a at b) 3 o clock and c) 9 o clock current in each leg at the CU is 16a the ring happens to be physically like a lollipop shape, so the cables between logical 3 o clock and 6 o clock positions are physically run together. I bridge between the 3 o clock and 6 o clock...

Hi, lollipop 6mm -Isolator- ring. If retro fitted, usually as my original post. Regards, ds

How do they do it? As in your previous post - or a proper lollipop?

...best specced and will have best chance of Android updates. At the other end of the scales, the Y6 is great for the money, but is stuck with Lollipop. Both the Sammy and the Y6 have a "simple UI" setting to make things a bit easier, but obviously there are loads of launchers available...

...a short 6mm run from the garage consumer unit 32A mcb to the switch then a 2.5mm ring from there. I believe this is referred to on here as a lollipop. The alternative I can think of is 2 pole rotary isolator and keep the ring all the way. I prefer the cooker switch in terms of operation but...
