    Can you connect an FCU directly into a ring main?

    Hi, Can you connect an FCU directly into a ring main? Rather than splitting the ring main and installing a JB I would rather fit the FCU direct. Cheers

    Ring circuits to be retired?

    Could the 30% leakage requirement on rcd, s, combined with the inevitable increase in kitchen appliances with intentional leakage built in, force designers to replace rings with radial circuits?

    Does Ring Transformer Need Fuse?

    Hi, I have recently installed a Ring Pro Doorbell. It has come with a transformer which is going to be connected to the lighting circuit as the CU is too far away. My question is, does it need a Fused Switch on the supply or can it be powered straight from the lighting circuit? Thanks
