[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 520697, member: 250"] I am not after an answer as such... Just something I was pondering while doing a quick little Friday afternoon job today.. (Adding a double socket in a porch direct through wall to CU less than 2m away.) So as I am doing my bits.. (Connected my new socket as a spur onto an existing circuit at CU...) I was thinking... An existing 32A ring circuit could have multiple 2.5mm T&E spurs taken from any point around the ring, including the CU MCB terminations, each supplying 1x double socket off each spur taken from it.. (no specific length of each spur, just that it only supplies a single accessory.) BUT.. What if a 32A MCB had 5x 2.5mm radials directly connected to it, each supplying 1x double socket at the end of each cable..? No actual ring at all.. Just 5x 2.5mm T&E radials, each 25m long with 1x double socket, directly back to a common single 32A MCB ? Would this be considered acceptable? compliant? poor workmanship? sneaky? dubious? other?
