Design 32a 4mm radial

[telectrix]

horrible way to do it. more joints than Sainsbury's. and 2 lots of 7 conductors in a terminal. wagos only go upto 5. better direct to first socket then daisy chain 1-2-3-4-5-6.

Generally... I'd always stick to a standard circuit and only depart from that if there are VERY good reasons not to. You may have very good reasons... but you haven't told us yet.

maybe he's ROMAN....... What have the Romans ever done for us?

or do i mean Romulans. easily confused when you get to my age.

I don't think Big Daddy's drawing has helped as it implies terminations are outside the sockets but could easily be inside as per my drawing but personally I would take the feed cable to one end ( as dotted line) for a more conventional radial circuit.
Of course as we all know, in practice it is not always possible to wire it as shown on drawings.

Agreed, the initial post saying this was a demo for apprentices is actually my main concern as I’d have thought they would be better off starting out with clear thoughts about more typical circuits, and built on that with understanding of overload and fault protection (encompassing selecting ocpd, installation methods, ccc etc) so they can assess anything quirky from first principles.
If this was a classroom exercise to discuss the regs then fair enough.

Oh... I'd assumed that they were kitchen fitting apprentices ?

You may well be right, in which case even more reason to stick to Appendix 15 circuits!
