    Sorry, I think that should be a DC circuit breaker. I made the diagram in a bit of a rush to show what was going on. I can't see on the inverter instructions anything about connecting the neutral to earth rod. Without the rod there would be no grounding surely? 1584312732 Is it advised to use...

    Ring, Radial and Earth

    OK, but some power is lost through heat. Greater distances, greater loss, greater heat. Add a high load and then there is an increased risk. It is simply something I found while researching my question and doing my own studies. I apologise if I am not wording it well, I'm not as advanced as many...

    Ring, Radial and Earth

    But the amount of current needed to reach a distant point in a radial circuit would be more than in a ring circuit. This even distribution of current does make it safer, although I understand there's far more factors in play. Maybe prevention was the wrong word to have used, sorry!

    Ring halves power on each end doesn't it, preventing potential overloads? Thanks for clarifying SparkyChick, that makes sense. I'll run radial as it's not much distance and only 16A. I've thrown in a quick diagram to try and make things a bit clearer, hope it makes some sense of what we are...

    The rod will connect to the earth bar of the CU and also ground the inverter. The 6A is lighting LED circuit. 16A is for the sockets. It's safer to connect both ends isn't it?

    Ring, Radial and Earth

    Sorry, it's for a friends garden building/shed run off an inverter. The earthing cable won't actually be buried, it will run down the side of the building for a metre or two and be fed to a rod. At the moment it's only going to be running LED lights but she wants to be able to plug in a TV and...

    Ring, Radial and Earth

    Hey guys! Hope some of you can help me out quickly! So I've got incoming PV and battery supply of 2000W at roughly 8.7A. This is through an RCBO and to a RCCB 30mA garage style consumer unit, just with a 16a and 6a MCB. The 16A serves 5 sets of double sockets with about 15M of 2.5mm. 1st...
