[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 269460, member: 250"] Extremely unlikely to go IMHO.... Diversity being the key word here!.. There are millions of homes all around the UK with.. 32A rings 32A cookers 40A showers.. etc... all off 60A main cut out fuses.... Go back and check in your books how much current is needed to blow a 60A HRC cut out fuse? ;) Where as... Kitchen with all those appliances on a radial is going to put a excessive amount of strain on the first leg of 2.5mm from the fuse box.. either 4.0mm if radial or 2.5mm ring .. Personally I would be doing 2.5mm ring in a kitchen.. :) Anyone considering a radial for kitchens/utility's is a bit daft IMHO, share & distribute the loading around the cable.. keep it working longer! :D {Sounds like the course you took missed out on a few basics of circuit design and electrical science IMHO :_| } [/QUOTE]
