socket

Returning to an earlier poster's (somewhat overlooked?) point:-

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=unfused+2+way+adapter&tbm=shop

Unfused 2-way adaptors readily available to buy now cheaply and which will be 'in the wild' for decades. 82 year old Mrs Scroggins buys one and plugs three 3kW heaters into her landing double socket, one for each bedroom. Potential 39A draw on a 27A cable protected by Type B 32A 60898 / 61009. Trip time at 39A is way off the curves, so in excess of 2.5 hours, if ever, during which time the cable is being exposed to about double its permitted heating power.

Yes I appreciate it's exactly the same problem if the socket is a spur off the ring.

assess likely usage.

but as i says...you can note it...no code.

I think there's a danger of confusing "Is this an absolute top-notch covered-all-the-bases, cable-cannot-be-rogered-by-incompetent-additions-or-rogue-equipment design?" with "Does it actually require improvement and if so on what grounds, preferably supported by the regs?"

?????

what do you work to then nick?

Then again we are told to flag up "Some circuits which require RCD protection under the current regs have none" as a C3...does that require​ improvement?...my brain hurts.

thats about additional protection....not overload...

that'll be OK then, as it's bonded to the metal window handles.
