    Fridge & Freezer Radial - B or C curve on RCBO?

    Ring or radial in bungalow

    I’m rewiring a bungalow and the owner has asked for a radial for all sockets except the kitchen. But there will be a separate washer and dryer in the circuit. Will a 20A radial be enough?

    Ring Final Circuit (RFC) versus Radial. Yes, again.

    This is a topic that comes up a lot and seems to attract near-religious levels of fever in how folks argue over the choice of circuit for UK sockets. However, often the arguments are ill-informed or they veer off in to pointless corners, or sometimes get personal. This is my attempt to put a lot...

    1.5mm radial in a caravan ??

    I do love my job, and this is a fabulous job to be involved with, but jez the regs aren't clear on this type of thing. In a house, you have either 2.5mm or 4mm on radial circuits. That's fine - but a caravan has nothing like the load (At most 16A is coming in from a mains hook up). So...can I...
