13A sockets on 50A RCBO

[Spudnik]

Just sticking my nose in here, but as far as im aware MOST double sockets are only rated at 13A TOTAL for both outlets.

MK ones are definitely 13A per outlet except for the triple gang ones.

Thanks for all the responses. It's been an interesting thread!

@Wirepuller - I think I might go this route but with 2x 32A mcbs, each feeding a double 13A. I do still wonder if this is unnecessary, although it might make it easier to wire. As squeezing 2x 6mmsq into a socket might have been a challenge!

You can fit 2x6mm into MK sockets - They're about the only brand that will though. 2x4mm is a squeeze into some

I'm not sure I see a 13A socket on a 50A RCBO as an issue though. That's simlar to the setup many will have if they have a cooker isolator with 13A socket built in.
