    Uninsulated ring crimps

    So, some of us tape over the cylindrical part of a ring crimp. Advantage is it gives some form of insulation against accidental contact Disadvantage is that it can’t be seen for inspection, To tape or not to tape, that is the question that is bugging me. P.s. I. Very rarely tape over them...

    Create a radial from a ring

    I think I've sussed this, but I just wanted to check that I'm doing this correctly according to the latest regs. I have a customer that wants his garage come workshop on its own circuit as it has lots of high power tools such as lathes etc. Currently it is on a ring final that is shared to a...

    What's the best approach to swapping out this alarm for a new ring alarm?

    I have the following alarm system, but I've just purchased a new Ring alarm bundle that I want to swap it for. Couple of reasons why I haven't just ripped this out to start over with my new one: 1. The original alarm keypad by my door has a power cable I'd like to use for the new Ring keypad...

    Flush mounted enclosure for ring transformer

    Had a quote today at a new build where they've not bothered to put any facility for a doorbell. Customer has purchased a Ring Wireless Pro, which comes with it's own 24VAC DIN rail mounted transformer. Given the location of the CU, it is not the simplest path for a cable run, so looking at...

    Too ring or not too ring, let that be the question...

    Burying 2.5mm ring circuit cable under concrete floor in flexi conduit

    What is your view about such an installation technique? Asked to finish extension wiring and the installer has snaked wire all over the floor in white flexi. They intend to put an island in and this could easily lead to damaged cables. The other wiring for lights etc. is abysmal like a massive...

    Incomplete ring circuits?

    The recent click-bait thread on radial vs ring final circuit descended in to the usual arguments ranging from sane to near-religious, but one issue that was raised among the general noise is the risk of a ring with an open somewhere. So I wondered if the folk on here that do many EICR and...

    Hi guys, I have found a 3 legged ring main during an EICR, it’s 2.5mm TnE with a 16A MCB & no RCD Protection. As it measures a S a ring between any 2 of the 3 legs, can a 32A RCBO be Installed or should it remain at 16A ?

    AM2 ring fault-finding headache

    How would I pinpoint a fault on a ring circuit with very little resistances, and without any visual clues, only by measuring. Say I have a break in neutral between db and first socket. How would I go about fault finding it? 1. I will use low resistance ohmmeter. 2. I will find that rn is not a...

    Coding for a Ring Final Circuit 1.5/1mm

    Afternoon all, A quick EICR question. I have found a Ring Final Circuit that has been run in 1.5/1mm twin and earth. It is RCD protected and OCPD is a 16a type B MCB. All testing has come back as expected for a Ring final that has been installed in 1.5/1mm and the measured Zs is well within max...

    Hi everyone, I’m about to build some cupboards, (tomorrow!) but need to ensure that a suitable cable is left behind them and threaded through the adjacent wall for a socket that I want fitted in the future - on the other side of that wall. (Work is happening in many stages). I’m not attempting...

    Maximum Appliances on Ring ??

    Hi all is there a regulation stating how many white good appliances allowed on a 32a Ring. Had another discussion with a fellow electrician stating that maximum 4 x 2kw load white good appliances on one ring, but he could not quote the regulation think this is just his own preference. As he was...
