ring and radial

[sijaysee]

if you put a fused spur on the ring then you can run multiple spurs off it.
Can you run multiple spurs off a ring without a FCU if you do it in say 4mm t&e?

in other words can you have a circuit which is part ring part radial?

also is it allowed to have 2 ring mains in 1 mcb?

Correct.

No.

In other words no.

No.

Are you really sure you are competant to be carrying out electrical installation work for profit?

 

[sijaysee]

the CU already has 2 rings in the mcb.
obviously a lot of cowboys out there who do dodgy work.
at least i get the advice first!!

No. But strangely enough, you can do it the other way around.

You can connect 2.5 to a 32A 4mm² radial providing it only feeds one outlet.

oh

Nope, that'll be a radial.

now i may be wrong

Yes you are.

 

[rssteve]

yes i just went and checked. its good to see tho i can take a 2.5 spur off the ring direct from the board.

You always could
