Ring or Radial differences

The Dentist · 1 Feb 2008

Acording to BS 7671 I can have as many socket outlets as I want on a 2.5mm ring circuit protected by a 32A breaker (up to 100 sq M)

If I run a radial circuit in 4mm, (with 32A breaker) is there a limit to the no of outlets I can have? (it is no larger than the specified 75 sq M max)

Thanks

Have as many sockets as you want so long as your 4mm radial is protected by a 32A breaker.

It`s all about load, if you are planning on having many appliances you may want to have another circuit to spread the load.
