The last time I posted here I got shot down by everyone. However a 2.5mm ring main is protected by a 32a mcb generally or maybe a mcbo. Why not convert the 6mm to a ring main at the end in the kitchen or have I missed somethng? Thanks All.

Thanks for the constructive input. NO its single phase only its in the middle of no where and no three phase in sight. Steel pipe or conduit is slow and expensive do you or anyone else on here actually use it for domestics I dont think so OK I know this is a large domestic but still a...
