[QUOTE="kme, post: 15089, member: 113"] Last post first: Cheggers - it is in the regs, but whether 7671 or 5839 I misremember (too much beer)! Ring final circuits: Once you`ve left the kitchen / utility, I`d have no issue putting the rest of the house on a 16/20 radial. A few years back, as an experiment, I dropped the mcb in my parents, in-laws, kids and own house to 20A on the house ring, instead of 32A. NONE of them has EVER managed to trip it!!!!! Swap the breakers you don`t need ( or put `em into stock - soon you`ll be able to fill your own CU, instead of buying the mcb`s THEY want you to have:) SL`s posts, as usual, full of well thought out, sensible advice. :) [/QUOTE]
