    Have the rules for ring mains changed over the years?

    I am sure when I qualified for the 16 edition we spoke about how to treat a ring main. I know the majority of the time we just learned how to read the book and how to find needed headings but I am sure we also spoke about ring mains. If a socket has two cables coming into the back box then it is...
