Is it me or is it you ahh ahh

Got to a job late afternoon & Sparky had taken out some ring mains,stripping out purposes, & reinstatEd the same circuit to keep other areas of the ring working.
No ring continuity,so had a look at a couple of junction boxes,they are maintained Hager Ones ,real nice.
So the live, was in the 2 marked live & neutral were the same,I told him , that don’t look right shouldnt they’ve been opposite,is the connection 2x lives or like a in & out.Did you check, the connections,NO,ain’t too sure myself now.
Being late & really not interested @ this point,left the circuit off & returning Monday.
Are these Hager boxes straight through connection,silly question I know ,but aye nothing to do with me.

Here’s a pic ahh ahh

Just looks like a standard junction box usually used with a lighting circuit. Each little block can house up to 4 conductors which will all have continuity. All the PL's go in the same block etc etc.

I wouldn't personally be using them to join a ring as they are rated at 20A.

Ok ,these are rated @ 32 amps.

Should be ok at 20A, Reg 433.1.204:

Such circuits are deemed to meet the requirements of Regulation 433.1 .1 if the current-carrying capacity (Iz) of the cable is not less than 20 A

Agree wagos are rated @ 25 A & can be used too.

 

[buzzlightyear]

No they should not be used 20amp on a ring
32 j/b needs to used of the terminals.

Well the Hager picture says 'lighting' for them!

Wagos can be used,it’s also stated in their literature.

 

[Dustydazzler]

Both Normal Wagos (lever and push) are fine to extend a ring main

Both Normal Wagos (lever and push) are fine to extend a ring main

And I’d be in a whole lot of bother if there weren’t ?

 

[telectrix]

Both Normal Wagos (lever and push) are fine to extend a ring main

or even a ring final.

If you unclip the blocks from the 32A Hager MF joint boxes you will see they are also rated 20A!
