    ...answer to any question about odd behaviour. Why cut off the end of your penis? Apparently not - from what I have heard. The picture of the lollipops says 'hijab'; that's just a scarf like the Queen wears. ...but which men and why? It must have started somewhere. All religion is indoctrination.

    ...to go back to the old days of speed limits being restricted and derestricted, it would make people set their speed according to the conditions not the lollipop. Some countries have a right not to self incriminate - We lost it here a few years ago. I think it was a step in the wrong direction.

    Lollipop

    You are correct, it is however a case of English or Electrics, the regulations use English, and it is so easy to take it by the letter rather than use common sense. When I started the wiring regulations were regarded as a guide, and in the 14th you had what is now in the guide to, at that time...

    Lollipop

    I don't think this is relevant to lolipop circuits. It surely goes without saying that the OPD protecting (the entirety of) a lollipop circuit should have an In no greater than that required to protect the smallest cable in the circuit? If that is the case, then there is obviously no need to...

    Lollipop

    As I said, a lollipop circuit can be designed to be compliant. The silly thing is that if one called the 'feed cable' ('stick of lollipop') a 'distribution circuit' and put an OPD at the end of it (even if that OPD was essentially redundant), hence effectively creating a sub-main with a...

    Lollipop

    ...here, provided that it is designed correctly, there is absolutely nothing in BS7671 which prevents (let alone forbids) one having a 'lollipop' circuit. Where I think there is scope for debate/discussion/uncertainty is in relation to the question of whether or not such a circuit can enjoy the...

    Lollipop

    Got involved with another Lolipop circuit discussion this morning. It's a lab with E stops (and other devices) added everywhere to control the ring with a contactor in an enclosure fed by 15m of 6mm² radial. Inspector insisted the ring can't be fed by a contactor/radial. Found this useful link...

    Cpc size on unfused spur

    I don't know about 'becoming fashionable'. I inherited two of those (well, probably the imperial equivalents) 30 years ago, and one of them (because it was conveniently located) still feeds a 'lollipop' circuit in my cellar! Kind Regards, John

    EICR - please advise

    ...acceptable :-) Of course, there are other bits of 433.1 which would enable one to design a perfectly compliant circuit of any configuration (including a ring, figure-of-8, lollipop, radial or whatever) using an OPD <30A, but that might not convince some of the Jobsworths! Kind Regards, John

    Weird Kitchen circuit

    Thanks for the reply, Lollipop :D. Ideally I would of liked to keep the ring in 2.5mm (have quite a bit :)) But yeah if you think it would be better as a 4mm radial, then that's ok too. Regarding the junction box, I was going to put a newer connection box somewhere up near the Hood, not to...

    Weird Kitchen circuit

    No problem with the circuit cable sizes or configuration. We call it a lollipop. The zones are not satisfactory. If you have to redo it, you could use 4 mm² T&E and make it a radial circuit. Various configurations could be used. I show one example. 1.5mm² would do for the fan. Care should be...

    Kitchen electrics - illuminated switches question

    It was I. You wouldn't tell John what you meant, so, perhaps you would tell me what relevance the circuit design has - OR what you think a lollipop is in this context.

    Not a problem with lollipops It would allow someone else to instantly turn it off

    Gangs to close any ideas?

    ...words (if they are, perhaps, now embarrassing you) are preserved for ever in my posted quote of them. However, if you really do feel that "lollipop" circuits offer a good solution to the issue being discussed, I would genuinely like to understand what you are suggesting. Kind Regards, John
