Anyone uses 25A instead 32A for rings ?
14th edition bit behind the times Mate, it's the 18th now nearlyI did, once, on a recent board change. Early 1980s bungalow with all cables in loft, later covered with insulation. Ref meth 101 not allowed.
According to my copy of the IEE wiring regs 14th edition amended 1976, reg A.33 (ii) "for ring final sub-circuits, the current rating of the conductors forming the ring is not less than 0.67 times the rating of the fuse or circuit breaker protecting the final sub-circuit". Putting it on a 25A would have it comply with the regs back then.
It wouldn't comply with current regs, but my 3rd party guy notifying it was happy with it (I'm not yet on a scheme), and it was a lot less itchy than putting conduit on every damn cable up there.
