domestic question???...

Would a 16 amp MCB be capable for a kitchen ring?? 3x double plugs, 4x 13 amp fuse spurs for the washing machine etc.. and the cooker is on its own mcb...thanks

This is not the sort of question that I personally feel able to answer

That's without being given a very good reason why its being asked in the first place

so you would fit a kitchen ring on a 16 mcb?

but you wouldnt fit a radial with a 16mcb?

Nothing wrong with a 16A ring if the design and load are done properly. Not how I would do it though!

Right... Why are you getting involved in changing breakers if you don't know the difference between a radial and a ring

if it's a 2.5mm ring main then it can sit on a 32amp breaker (without getting technical, size of run etc) if its a 2.5mm radial it can sit on a 20amp...

i really feel awkward helping you with this if you have to go out of your way to purchase the correct breaker :-/
