i have just replaced the 1st floor of our cottage and in the process of rethreasding all of the existing cables through the new joists. i notied that all the lights appear to be on one ring circuit.....
1. why would anyone have wired a ring circuit for lighting on a b6 mcb with 1.5te?, i understand there may be a voltage drop issue (cottage is 10mx6m, 2 storey) but if that was the case i would have thought that the logical thing to do would be to put 2 circuits in rather than one ring.
2. is it possible that 2 circuits are employed but some diy hero has put them both through one mcb?
3. does it sound like a cause for concern or normal practice?
