Hi, I want to add 7 sockets to a ring main with five sockets. I have seen articles on the Internet indicating that adding sockets into the ring is a simple task, but others talk about calculating load, voltage drop, cable temperature, etc. Will a ring of 12 sockets require such calculations?
The ring will have a double socket added alongside each of two existing double sockets (making two groups of four), a single socket will be replaced by a double socket and two new sockets will be added about 3m from nearest socket.
The consumer unit is old so presumably I must add an RCD.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks
