    4mm 32a Radial In Trunking

    Changed a CU today and noticed the kitchen sockets were wired in 4mm t&e surface mounted in trunking and on a 32A breaker. Now, the CCC for this is strictly only 30A (ref.method B). Would anyone be overly bothered about this? Common sense tells me that it is unlikely this cable will be asked to...

    Radial off a ring circuit

    Hi all, I have been asked to add a couple of sockets and add power to an existing strip light (currently disconnected) in a garage. There is presently an SWA 2.5 mm cable that is apparently live but taped up, hanging loose in the garage which is fed from a 32a ring circuit located in a utility...

    Redundant 6mm Cooker circuit to 4mm radial?

    Hi there. Just a discussion with a colleague. Is it acceptable to use a redundant 30A cooker circuit wired in 6mm, and downsize to 4mm via JB for a kitchen radial? For example, if there is one ring supplying a house and you would like to reduce the risk of overloading with all the...

    Final Circuits Non Dwelling

    Having gone back and forth through the onsite guide and BYB, am I right that with socket outlets in commercial premises it is the same as domestic 2.5mm and 100m2 ring main and 75m2 for a 4mm radial circuit? So application for diversity would be 32amp for first circuit and then 50% of every...

    New circuits for shed.

    Hi. I own a large shed, currently served by 1 single socket, so need to make power points more accessible. My plan is to run two radial circuits, one down each side of shed with 4 double sockets on each circuit. Idea is to use 4.0mm2 t&e on a 32A rcbo for each circuit. Cable length from CU to...

    Spurs off Spurs on radial circuit

    So you can spur off Spurs on a radial socket circuit, is this because the cable is protected via a 20amp breaker at the board compared to 32amp on a ring?

    Why is a cooker circuit generally 6mm and 32a

    As above why is this as I have had a thought and a 20a 2.5 mm cable would be sufficient? Even in my new built it has an oven and hob both 32a radials for each on 6mm cable? Each with a 13a plug on the appliance as diversity shows around 10a max. so even with an upgraded appliance I don't see...

    radial and ring

    Hi everyone I've come across a weird situation where somebody has got new sockets added, but from the board it is a radial in 6mm as there is one set of cables into the breaker, then when you look at the sockets (2 double sockets) it's got 2, 2.5mm cables going into both like it's a ring Does...

    2.5mm on a 32a radial or not?

The MCBs are obsolete so I had to re use the C32 used originally supplied the ring. can I use 2.5mm cable? 32A radial but with 2.5mm cable- not something you would see...

    Radial circuit and the use of spurs

    I currently have an integral garage fed by a radial circuit protected by a 32A MCB and wired with 4mm T&E cable. This feeds just two power points in the garage (and nothing else). i wish to redesign this circuit to provide several more power points and would like to check whether my proposed...

    Using jb's for multi point lighting radial

    Since doing a bit of digging am i right in thinking that using jb's to branch off from a radial circuit for a single switch and associated lights is considered "old hat" nowdays. ?? Ive read the 17th ed recommends jb's be of the maintenance free type is they are non accessible, which is all...

    Spuring off one socket

    I have one single socket on its own from a consumer unit. (10A) (no ring) Can I swap this to a double and then spur off another double from it? It means there will be an equal number of spurs than there are sockets which I have been told is a no no. Is this true? Thanks in advance
