Have the rules for ring mains changed over the years? | Page 8 | on ElectriciansForums

Discuss Have the rules for ring mains changed over the years? in the Electrical Engineering Chat area at ElectriciansForums.net

Those UK electricians with OCD would love the French staggered RCD and MCB's connected together with a staggered busbar, it is very neat, even vertical bus bars to connect RCD's above each other in different rows.

The only thing I can think that could be a compromise on UK plugs, if using a mobile appliance when you reach to limit of the cord It puts a strain on the connection, plug and socket, in the French flat plug it just pulls out of the socket and stops the machine working, would seem a bit safer.
