I noticed that the circuit breaker for the mains sockets has 3 cables connected to it. I thought that if there was one it was a radial circuit, and two if it was a ring main. So what does it mean if there are 3?
What I intend to do then is to disconnect one cable at a time and test all my sockets to see which ones are affected - can I just disconnect the live wire or do I need to disconnect the corresponding neutral as well?
Live will do - but don't have any large loads on while you do this (as you will only have reduced capacity on the ring during some tests), and make sure you switch off main switch between tests. Be safe!
