Depends on how extensive the refurb is.

and if there is a max distance to run a 32 amp ring main for them The rule of thumb for a RFC is is to serve no more than an area of 100M squared.

thanks all

If your carrying out this work and don't know the answers to these questions, this is worrying to me

Maybe a quick read of the BGB or the OSG would help.

Yep...agreed....

Q2: the RFC should contain no more than 107m of cable (see std ccts in OSG) and serve a max 100m^2 floor area.

I'll buy into that.

Another thing to add, I learn about the heights of accessories before I even started my apprenticeship. My first employer told me that whilst he was looking over my shoulder during my trail period with him. Arghhhhh!

And another thing, it's not a 'ring main' but a 'ring final circuit'.

Anyone know how / where the term 'ring main' originated?
