10 Bedroom house rewire. Ring or radial?

[Moaz]

Guys, I'm wiring a ten bedroom house which has 4 floors. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as fat as I know, new regs says to keep each room on a radial. So shall I keep each room on a radial or have a few rings on each floor after calculating the maximum demand??

Is it a HMO dwelling? Ah right see you have answered that question in the above post. Came through as I sent the question sorry Moaz

Is that actually coming into force? Radial per room? That’s a joke. Unnecessarily filling up the DB..

As far as I've understood. It's true, unless someone can correct me.

Ive read the 18th draft and didn't see that one. Where did you see it Moaz?

Seems an odd move if they remove RFCs completely. I can see how they might recommend radials in certain cases, but surely it's better to keeps RFCs as an option.

Where will you be checking tonight? Where did you see it originally?

Originally another spark mentioned it. And a few weeks later, I heard someone else mention it too. I've not checked the draft myself, but I need to now.

This is what I have as info.

not true.

But we will have to take into account earth leakage when designing circuits.

Not sure how to do this!

Tell you 'em you spoke to me, and I said it ain't true.

See how easy it is to make these things up

Yes I have that as well no mention regarding the OPs post as far as I can see

Yeh right calculate earth leakage! Also longevity of cable and who will be using it throughout it's life and how many times per day subject turning on and turning off, no problemo!

Its unbelievable but due to be in the 18th

Be interesting to hear how the IET and scams think installation designs comply or don't comply.

Would have been far better if they had simply stated

"RCBO's for socket circuits"
