    Ring vs Radial for minimum voltage fluctuations

    I'm building a new property consisting of 4 sperate discrete buildings, all roughly in a straight line. My question: Is there any advantage to connecting the buildings supply in a ring rather than just daisy-chaining them (i.e. radial)? I was planning to run a single 1 AWG backbone supply up...

    Ring vs Radial : Identification.

    Just a quick one When you see two lines on one MCB that could be either a ring or two radials. The only way to determine which is through testing. Is that true? Are there any best practices regarding this? For example, would you ever see three lines on an MCB? One ring, one radial? Or three...

    Motor relay on Radial Arm Saw

    I have an old DeWalt 721 Radial Arm saw that recently stopped working. Initially I thought this was because one of the Start / Stop buttons disintegrated (came unscrewed) and spread its workings all over the floor. I subsequently changed both the switches like for like. (Rafi 1.10001)...

    Radial wiring help

    Hi I’m currently wiring my upstairs sockets on a 2.5 T&E protected by a 20A mcb do you think I will get nuisance trip due to the small size mcb or would you recommend making it a ring and using a 32A mcb. I don’t like rings so tried to stay away just I had some spare 2.5 but probably should have...
