Ring from a radial ?

[Chr!s]

Or if you dont like that approach, then its a non standard circuit called the lollipop, providing it meets the requirements of BS7671 then wheres the problem, BS 7671 allows us to design non standard circuits.

I am not dis agreeing Chris
On the contrary I see no problem whatsoever with the arrangement, as I posted previously

Sorry Des, the post wasn't aimed at you it was just a general post.


I agree with you, theres various ways in which this circuit may comply, whether its a ring or a lollipop lol

IMO its bad practice but noted on cert as such should be ok dont put " part P Kitchen fitters should be BANNED" on the cert tho as much as you may want to

i hear b&q are running a kitchen fitters' course. the fitters are wired up to a control panel. as soon as they put the end of their drill within 6" of a prescribed zone they receive a 110volt shock in the testicles. if they can do a whole hour without desroying anything they get a tea break. as for them who install electrics, that's a good reason to dig footings to 6feet deep.

existing 6mm t+e , originaly for cooker supply , now has a 2.5mm ring final connected into the existing cooker connection unit

by the cooker connection unit is it one of these you mean?

Cooker Cable Outlet Plate

and does the 6mm feed one side and your "ring main" on the outlet side?

or do you mean a proper RCD enclousre unit fed in 6mm from the board and then 2.5mm out the other like a distribution style?

just wondering

thanks
