Crossover in ring circuit
It should be its a ring, looks like this ( O), if you cut in to the Ring and measure ring continuity( R1 for example) it would be the same at the Fuse board and if we measured it at every socket as well it should be the same, providing you close it back to a ring at the Fuse board. When the...- Upton Sparks

Crossover in ring circuit
Its a Ring, they are connected at the board in the MCB. Explain. how does basic ohm law explain that? your going to need to put a bit more meat on the bones for me. But If the resistance is the Same at each socket( as we've tested), then the equation V =I X R, we should all be familiar...- Upton Sparks

Crossover in ring circuit
Ok Boys back to the testing books for you I'm afraid. After doing your ring continuity, I hope you then do your Figure 8, You then test each socket to obtain your R1+ R2, your expecting the resistance reading R1 + R2 of the Ring to be the same at every point!.(Give or take 0.05) therefore the...- Upton Sparks

Crossover in ring circuit
Its an equation at the end of the Day, The whole idea of the ring is at any socket outlet the resistance should be the same back to the Fused board. Therefore the current will travel both way back to the fuse board at an equal 50% each way down each leg of the ring. by adding a connection...- Upton Sparks

Investigation on massive electricity bills
