Heater Ring , Hair Dryer Ring

[r.b]

Is it quite common for hair dryers or panel heaters for example to be on a ring purely of spurs feeding the equipment off a 32 amp breaker?obviously I know individual wiring 16amp with a 2.5t&e to a spur it's just sometimes easier I was just thinking of it the other day just seems easier when there's a few hand tyres or heaters in a room or when there's only one spare way in the board!I know about minor works I just need to know the answer to the question I also meant a ring main with just spurs on it no sockets?

Read the appendix in the BGB on final circuits arrangements

for socket circuits, radials and ring final circuits.  Read the bit

about arranging for loading to equally distributed, area of the

floor served, and the need to limit the load per socket and put

larger loads onto dedicated radials.

It is all there.

There is a word missing...  "second"

i.e.

'Second hand tyres'...

Also known as 'Part Worn' maybe purchased from a scrap yard or friend... 

Anyway:  Part worn / second hand tyres are very often Radial....

In fact IMHO on most modern cars Radial is definitely the better way to go for ride comfort etc...

Ok rb I admire your determination to learn, so in order for you to get the best learning opportunity I'd like some information from you.
What is your background, what qualifications do you have? How long have you been doing electrics. What area are you in?
Possibly if you are close enough I'd be willing to allow you to learn from me.

So the opportunity is there it's over to you.

I think you are confusing the spurs on the backs of your boots with something you haven't got a clue about.

I'm still trying to visualise what a "ring of spurs" is.

The OP makes no sense to me at all, so I am incapable of comment

I've seen them before,,,, an absolute pig to fault find

 

[Sidewinder]

Now I can't decide if a "ring of spurs" is musical or magical!

No

It may not be common, but I have found, from previous experience, that putting every room in the house on its own circuits ( ring for sockets, ring for heating & hair dryers, and circuit for lighting) makes working on everything soooooooo easy.

EICRs are a bugger mind, and labelling the socket or spur as " heating or hair dryer only" takes up time, too!!!!

Anyone notice the new freeview chanel BONANZABONANZA ? They actually show old episodes of bonanza sorry all this talk of spurs got the theme tune In my head.
