I have a proposed design for office power which involves a 32 A single phase ring circuit running in singles in sub floor trunking via a flexible conduit directly to a rotosoc type desk socket connector to be fixed under a group of desks. The connector is branded as being manufactured to BS5733. is this installation compliant ?

Is this an office set up with computers on each desk, if so then is a large ring advisable!

How may sockets how much power needed and what is the length of run have you done the calcs

It probably depends on what's going to be on each desk - is it just a computer terminal and LED monitor and nothing else, or can other things be plugged in as well?
As darkwood suggests I'd break it up a bit.

Due to potential high earth leakage current in an office environment,it would be advisable to run this ring in 4mm and remember to terminate the earths in different terminals in the sockets and at the board...2 radials would be even better.

NO WHERE NEAR ENOUGH INFORMATION, LENGTH OF RUN?, LOAD?, the actual design sounds fine, having a metal clad box under a floor with a flexible pipe to the desk sockets pretty normal, but more info required regarding whether one ring will suffice.

if you've already proposed this design to the client , then its probably a bit late in the day to get 2nd opinions............
