I’d like to know if anyone else here refuses to install ring circuits in domestic premises.
For me it’s either a 20a radial / tree circuit with 2.5mm, or a 32 radial / tree circuit with 4.0mm.
Frankly I’m tired of finding broken ring circuits on 32a CB’s, as well as mismatches on end to end tests. It drives me nuts on jobs that should be simple.
I wish we would get rid of this ridiculous practice here in the UK.
I know some of you will say there’s nothing wrong with it when it’s properly installed and tested, but inevitably at some point in the future someone will come along and disconnect a conductor unknowingly while changing outlets on the circuit.
Testing is more complicated, and diagnosing faults on a ring also.
-Does that translate in to-I Tee.....Common on diy and builder installs.
When was electrikery invented and rolled out and I believe they had square built houses a long time before that........anway 2.5mm is way easier to play with whether you are running/stripping/connecting than big 4mm or 6mm radials.
I thought houses were built square to facilitate ring circuits weren't they?
