RING/RADIAL

[BALDEAGLE]

I had a problem with a ring main it kept tripping out
The electician found a fault between 2 sockets so broke the ring as wires in wall and running under bathroom floor
The cable is 2.5
When i have my drier running and switch on kettle it trips out how can i change this
No idea about electrics

One last thing you mentioned 20A MCBs, type Wylex NB20
there's different types like type 2 and different M`s like M9

The M bit is the maximum breaking capacity of the MCB in 1000s of amps, and is not normally a consideration in domestic premises. Modern domestic versions are usually M6.
The 'type 2' bit refers to the ratio of instant trip current (short circuit) to overload trip current, and type 2 is what you want.
As long as the position of the connection to the busbar matches the existing ones the 'M' rating doesn't really matter, as long as it's equal or greater to than the PSC current shown on your EICR.
