not strictly DIY but id appreciatte some thoughts as i know there's some good sparks on here.
went to look at a job today at a small ish workshop.
there was a ring circuit (singles in conduit) feeding 5 sockets around a small workshop. (no rcd protection required). job is a couple of new socket faces.
the conduit ran to a tap-off box that was clipped onto a 3 phase busbar. inside the tap off was a bs88 32A fuse for the ring circuit. the other phases in the tap off were used to power lighting in the workshop. the nuetral was packed with about 7 cables for the ring and light circuits.
can anybody see why a circiut cant be distributed in this way, seems a little odd but not sure its breaking any regs.
also the legs of the ring werent even- there was a long run from the furthest socket on the ring back to the tap off box.
what would you guys do- even them out or leave it as not breaking any regs? i ask as evening them out looks like a task in itself!
