[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 523742, member: 250"] There is a strange breed of electrician who follow the "blind leading the blind" concept often used by builders & DIY'ers... Who for some reason assume Sockets MUST be on a ring!!!!!!!!!!!!??? Never understood why some people wire a shed/workshop via a mini CU with a 32A MCB feeding a ring supplying only two or three double sockets!! WTF is that about ??? Oh yeah!! they are sockets so they have to be wired on a ring!! I have often done a 32A ring for Kitchen / utilities... with 20A radials for all other areas.. e.g. "rest of downstairs" & "one or two upstairs radials".. Rings can be a right pain in the rear if you are asked to add an extra socket, but the nearest accessible socket is already a spur off a 32A ring! But if it had of been a 4.0mm 32A radial or a 2.5mm 20A radial, then jobs an easy.. add on your new socket to nearest point!! [/QUOTE]
