    Radial circuit. Star from wagobox or daisychain

    Can a radial circuit be installed by taking the supply to a location into a wagobox, splitting and dropping down to 2/3 sockets, or is it preferable to daisy chain from each socket (uses more cable, and further voltage drop)

    Final radial circuit with 1.5mm2

    Is it OK to install a final radial circuit supplying to a small number of BS 1363 sockets (let's say 1 to 3 double sockets) in a new home with 1.5mm2 , when protected by a 10A or 13A MCB in the CU? I am not sure whether the 2.5mm2 minimum stated in 433.1.5 would apply in this case. Thanks in...
