[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 543796, member: 250"] Is this just upstairs sockets? Or the whole property? Unless this is a ring final suppling the whole property then I cannot see any any sensible reason for expecting anything to be drawing 4.6kW or more..? (if it is the whole property it could probably do with splitting off anyway by now?) I haven't installed a 32A ring for upstairs sockets for donkeys years? Possibly even better solution to split it onto 2x 20A radials than a single 32A ring? There is a common failure is logic assuming all sockets should be on a 32A ring.. when in reality other than Kitchens / utilities very few other rooms come anywhere near the capacity of 32A OCPD's [/QUOTE]
