in some cases we use both radial and ring circuits but they must be labeled correctly
same as the circuits in the cu
for example on a lighting ckt the label attached to the conductor would have the maximum breaker size info printed on it.
balancing loads in a radial is an impossibility for the average consumer as they rarely get training on it, and find out they have too much on it when the breaker trips out.
recently i was given a laptop comp with a uk plug on the power pack.
it was an auto switching power supply so it was just a cord swap to use it.
by the way i really like the way the uk plug is designed (fused and rock solid construction)
my biggest complaint with diy and some hack sparks is they will just tap the nearest live conductor without checking its loads and install a utility outlet for heavy loads.
or install a breaker that exceeds the ampacity of the conductors.
