[QUOTE="Blue Duck, post: 453165, member: 8071"] When you start using more than two appliances at the same time you may start to notice a fishy burning smell. What have you have inadvertently done is broken a circuit that is capable of a load of 32 amps and turned it into one that is only good for 20ish amps but it's still protected by a 32 amp fuse (MCB whatever) So it is more than likely that one leg of the ring will be overloaded and will start to smell a bit fishy. Meh. [/QUOTE]
