Hi Guys,
Recently I had an issue with a ring main in my flat either the circuit was over loaded or the connection at the breaker was poor. Either way it ended up with a burnt out breaker with black scorch marks on the top and melted cables by the breaker. As the flat is rented i'm unfortunately not allowed to change anything with out prior approval from letting agency.
Where i'm going with this is i'm pretty new to the whole trade and don't want to question the electrician they sent to fix it but i'm concerned that he has oversized the breaker. He's replaced the broken 32A with a 40A the ring main is wired with bog standard 2.5mm T+E. I'm pretty sure if i've remembered my teachings right that at most for a ring main it is 32A. Should i be questioning this ?
