Just a thought really, hyperthetically speaking if there was one you would also have a 16A fuse available to buy too.
Just something I was discussing earlier about putting 16A blue outlets on a ring main, you cant really just put on on a ring as it really needs a 16A FCU to cover it, ok you could put a 13A but then you are loosing benefit of the 16A etc etc etc...

Because there is no such thing defined in the British Standard.
You "can" get 16A or 20A fused switches/switch fuses.

If we're onto mystical components we wish existed, I'd like a range of double and single sockets which have dedicated terminals at the rear for taking a spur off, and which are RCD protected within the socket.

And T&E cable incorporating an earthable sheath. Sort of the b*st*rd offspring of T&E and coaxial. Probably gonna look a berk now when someone tells me you can buy it.

My suggestion was meant to be tongue in cheek. An MCB in an enclosure on a RFC would look NAFF IMHO.
I'm assuming that the situation would be non-domestic simply as I cant imagine where this would ever be relevant in a house.

Not only that cutting into a ring to put what I guess you could call a busbar chamber open to abuse as in taking more load is not really a good practice and should be on its own distribution circuit. So going back to my 16A FCU idea, I think it's a good one.

Should be all right on a commercial job , domestic though its another thing unless it was on the back wall in a cupboard ,Often thought about it , because a couple of new build estates I have come across have garage supplies spurred of rings in SWA , Tight builders to blame usually , 16AMCB with double pole switch , would do it
Reminds me of where I work got a design to install sockets which where supplied via a 16A FCU asked why he replied thats what I want so I asked who made them as they only came in 13A.What made this really funny is that this bloke always introduced himself as Hello my name is F*** A***** Fellow of the IET

My old man had a single to 3 phase converter that required a 16amp commando plug and socket in his garage to run a lathe and pillar drill
But none of those need more than 13A.... the connection method is irrelevant. If you need a 16A outlet then you install a 16A outlet - FSU not required.
Besides, I've always gone by the thought that if MK don't make it then it doesn't exist..... and they don't.
Just because they've come fitted with 16A ceeforms, doesn't necessarily mean that they actually draw 16A's, does it?

I think i've mentioned this before, in that 15A BS 1362 fuses have been available in many countries, (and for many years) that i've worked in. Now whether they are available, or officially recognised in the UK, is another matter. ....Still not quite 16A though...lol!!
