My apologies all, my post was of coarse missing some stuff, and rather confusing.
1. Are there any obvious rules preventing the use of ring circuits coming from a contactor like the one pictured below, it doesn't s seem there is.
2 Provided there are no restrictions preventing the use of a ring circuit with said contactor, is the wiring on the diagram correct.
This 2 pole contactor is of coarse capable of a 63A load at point 1 and point 3 simultaneously correct or have I misunderstood something, what I am asking is hypothetically if 50A rated wire was used in the rings.
Then each ring circuit would be happy to draw 39A limited by the 40A breaker on each leg, correct? putting a 78A total load on the contactor, this is of coarse hypothetical, I know them breakers shouldnt be put under 90%+ load for x hours etc, I just want to be sure I have a full understanding of the workings of this contractor.
Thank you for you're time.
