Afternoon.
I've recently had a ring main fault where a leg from socket to socket has gone down to earth. All sockets off, continuity testing between each leg and core and found the culprit. Was tripping RCD when turning ring on (kitchen)

Anyway, I havent got the option to put a new leg in, so my suggestion would be, split the ring to 2 radials? There would be 3 sockets on 1 radial, 2 on another.

Any other suggestions? :)
