Max floor area of a ring main?

[Guest55]

I agree with everything you have said, except for unlimited sockets on a radial circuit.

what is the limit for the number of sockets on a radial ?

Haven't got the the Green regs yet still, using the Red ones.

Don't suppose there's any danger of a helpful reply, no?

So what's your reason for not having the BGB and presumably not having the latest OSG??

On a 15/16amp radial circuit cabled 2.5mm 1 double or 2 single s/o, 30/32 amp 4.00mm 3 doubles or 6 single s/o.

Really?

Or if kev the kitchen fitter is involved as many as you like.

thats odd ?
page 426 of the BGB shows a picture of a 20A / 2.5mm radial with 12 sockets ?

I am not getting into this argument, cos i started it, but i will stand corrected though,

I think the continuous publication of new Regs and subsequent amendment to the new regs are little more than a revenue generating scam...

How standards have dropped!!, any experienced sparky I hope would not wire 12 s/o 0n 20 amp radial on 2.5mm cable.so you would say that's good practice then?

no-ones gonna correct you as you were correct ;-)

yeah ?
well where did you get your numbers from ?
only 2 on a radial ? dont be daft.
seeing as the circuit device will prevent cable overload there is no maximum.

So you are not a scam member then!

Yeah, have to agree with that - the circuit device has the final say - until, Mr diy comes along and changes the breaker to 32 (or 40).

An that's the very reason why you dont

i've no idea what that means , and not really arsed either.
