    High(ish Zs and extending ring final question.

    Hi all. Love the forum by the way. I do have a question though... I have just visited a house (on a Sunday!). Customer is asking for additional sockets onto 32amp ring final. Circuit is 30mA RCD protected. Wiring is 2.5mm/1.5mm tinned copper. Thought I’d better do a live Zs test. Zs = 1.29...

    R1 R2 socket test on Ring Final Circuit with megger leads

    So with megger leads they are not too happy in a kewtech socket tester so what do you do when you want to do this use kewtech leads on the megger? The megger leads clearly do not fit into the kewtech. Just use the plug lead?

    High r1, rn, r2 etc on ring final.

    Hi All. I had a job which was going to be a 'quicky' fault finding and repairing a couple of sockets, then it came to the testing..... The consumer unit gave me no cause for alarm but was all labelled up wrong, so it turned out there were far more sockets and square meterage on this ring final...

    Faulty MCB. Problem isolating ring final circuit at CU with MCB

    I am planning to move a socket outlet. The CU is largely unlabelled so don't know which 32 MCB to switch off. There are 2 x 32a MCB. All other mcbs are for lights (6a) and a dedicated immersion (16a). To isolate the circuit, I tried switching off the first of the two 32a mcb which isolated some...

    Scrap the Ring final circuit

    After coming across countless faults in domestic premises regarding ring final circuits, I reckon they should scrap em... Gets frustrating when you go to check continuity and there is nothing between each leg. Or you get a call to check a burning smell from the C.U and once again a broken ring...

    Low IR ring final circuit

    Testing a ring final circuit today. R1+R2 is fine, same as end to end r1 rn and r2. However IR test is coming back 1.87M ohm. I split the circuit and located a section (one side of the ring is clear >999). The customer doesn't want any walls or ceiling touched. As this is greater than 1M ohm...

    Ring final install method query

    Hope someone can help. When finding the cabling current capacity for a ring (wired in 2.5), would you use the data for 4mm in either/or table D5 of BYB or table 7.1 (11) in the OSG ? As the ring circuit is in effect 5mm ! Looking at the OSG ref methods; a 2.5 with ref method 101 says 17A...

    Ring Final Circuit wired in 4 core SWA

    Hi Gents, Have an existing circuit at a warehouse where a single 4mm 4core SWA has been used as a Ring Final Circuit. Two cores are in connectors in the back of the socket outlets thus creating a ring. The SWA is therefore the sole means of earthing. There are No banjo's at the sockets and the...

    How to check if a fuse feeds a ring final or 2 radial circuit

    Hi guys. I need to check if I have a ring or 2 radial running from a fuse. I have an old wylex fuse box in which someone has put a blue 15amp fuse in a red 30amp carrier. If I disconnect the 2 cables and check for continuity of the 2 lines then the 2 neutrals will this tell me if I have a ring...

    Spur from Ring Final Circuit

    My last thread was taken down due to copyright reasons, I think it was because I scanned a page from the wiring regs and posted it. Can anyone tell me if this circuit design conforms to regs?
