i had a couple of sockets put in about 12 year a go and was thinking of adding another for tv on wall and was looking under floorboards and it looks like its done on a radial circuit as it come straight from the fuse box and ends at the 2nd socket ,it is also wired to the up stairs socket fuse...
I am a DIY and working on an extension on my home. I found out that one area of my house is on a 4mm radial for sockets on a 32amp mcb which I know is fine.
Now the question is
Can I safely continue wiring 4mm radial?
Total length from distribution to last socket will be around 60metres with 12...

hi guys
Need some help in calculating voltage drop on a branched radial circuit. (13A design load 2.5mm cable)( cu to junction box 8m 2.5mm)
for a standard loop in loop out radial it would be IbxDxmV/m/1000
this circuit has 2 branches from the junction box
one/ 10m long ( 1 double...
Hi everyone looking to clarify something, had a tester onsite today testing circuits we've been installing the past few weeks, in his opinion he found fault with one circuit, we had wired a 30m radial circuit in 2.5mm 2core & earth fp200 on a c16 mcb. The cable was clipped direct throughout its...
Hi all,
I've tested several radial circuits and only getting 0.00 ohms on the r+r2 test (zero'd leads)
2 of the radials only supplies one socket each and are approx. 3 metres in total length. (zs 0.25 and 0.21)
Another radial only supplies one socket and is appox. 5m in length. (zs 0.35)
The...
I am currently renovating my kitchen and am considering swapping my standalone cooker for a hob/single oven combination.
Would it be possible to use a dual appliance output plate on a 32A ring?
The hob = 4.6Kw
The oven = 3.65Kw
or would they need to be on separate circuits?
Thanks
Hi all,
Today i found 2 radial circuits in a 32amp mcb breaker, would you give it a code c1 or c2 on a eic report?
Also what are the main dangers of having these together?
Cheers

Hi all,
I did some work on a house the other day that had a circuit for sockets which was cabled in 4mm to half way in the house the split of it to 2.5 up to the sockets. It had a 32a breaker. I'm aware that you can have a 32a 4mm radial but that the whole circuit must be in 4mm. Using 2.5 on...
2.5 mm radial t&e supplying 2 twin sockets on 32a Rcbo. Code2?

Little scenario for you all.
I've been doing an eicr today and come across a double socket wired as a radial on a 2.5mm t-e, which is protected by a 32 amp rcbo.
Technically this cannot overload as the cable can withstand 27 amp ref method c. Unless mr DIY comes along and starts adding new...
hi i was on a fuse board change to day and the new fuse board was switch off and no buzz bar connected and no tails connected but 1 of the circuits which was a radial to the kitchen when you put the neutral in it tripped the rcd can any 1 tell me why :lightbulb:
Simple job to add an extra socket to top floor 'rfc'. Top floor was converted some 8-10 years ago but no certs available. Took Zs from socket I was going to spur from which was .6ish Ohm, turned off supply, proved dead then took end to end readings (at socket I intended to spur from) to prove...
Hi, I was going to post in the DIY forum but don't seem to have permission to at the moment. If i could ask a quick question - are you able to offer your opinion on my plan below:
I have a b16 circuit breaker in the CU for a radial circuit out to my garage. In the garage the cable feeds into a...
Hi
I have a Radial circuit wired with 2.5mm T&E , which is protected by a 3 amp MCB due to the fact that it is switched via a home automation relay rated at 5amp.
My question is this
Given the above scenario is it ok to install/wire a BS1363 socket if I know that the load that will be...
Evening Gents,
Im looking for some advice, I have to connect two convector heaters on a radial circuit - I will be connecting each outlet via fused spur flex outlet, I was going to use a 3x3 adaptable box to terminate the one armoured then connect in singles to fused spur...
Evening all
I've rad a few posts about running a radial off of a ring and there are loads of different options.
The problem I have is that we have no alternative as the customer already has a spur off the ring and wants a few more sockets but does not want us to start pulling about her kitchen...
Hi
I've just got to the end of a job in which I installed a 2way RCD protected CCU supplying 1x50a shower circuit and 1x16a radial circuit which consists of a 13a switched fused spur (outside bathroom) for a 2kw bathroom blow heater.
Typically now the job is finished the customer has decided...
I plan to install steel conduit (used as cpc) in a garage / workshop. I intend to run the conduit in a complete loop around the garage, i.e. starting at one point, going around all four walls and then back to the point at which I started. I want to do this because it makes wiring easier, i.e...
