[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 19244, member: 250"] No. as Cheggers & Betty say.. more a good practice sort of thing.. As long as fuse rating/cable size/volt drop/max Zs etc.. all met? BUT there is a recommendation with ANY ring circuit to consider the balancing of the load around the ring.. e.g. If just one d/s ring... inc kitchen & rest of downstairs it is quite possible that 90%+ of all the work will be done on a small area/length of the cable section of the ring? The Biggest point I consider is convenience in the event of a fault.. e.g. kitchen cct goes AWOL.. customer could most likely run an extn lead from other D/S sockets to provide some power to essential bits until faults fixed! ;) [/QUOTE]
