Convert Ring Circuit to 2 Radial Circuits?

[1shortcircuit]

Still possible to find the approximate mid point for a split by checking resistances.

Oh most definitely, I should have emphasised more. Great care will be required to ensure that all outlets are tested so that the labelling of the consumer unit can be done correctly and in a way that will never put anyone at risk ie Front radial, rear radial or up and down. This could become less straightforward if after finding the mid point there is power on both floors.

As it's a '60s house:
# it's likely the rfc is wired in imperial 7/029 which has a rating of 31A. Watch for modifications though which have been made in 2.5
# it was common to have only one rfc, but several of the sockets may well be spurs, particularly where there are sockets on the same wall with one upstairs and one downstairs. Make sure you know which 'half' each socket is on.

Also, some manufacturers do 25A mcbs (Hager for example), so you may be able to create 25A radials.

I notice whazza22 hasn’t come back to explain why he wants to split the ring.

I thing this is a dead horse beyond flogging. :banghead:

 

[dingledong]

get an electrician in to do it

 

[Knobhead]

What flog the horse?
