[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 474681, member: 250"] Whilst adding some extra sockets in a garage the other day... I was just mulling over in my mind....a bog standard 32A ring with say 10 sockets on the ring plus 4 unfused spurs supplying 4x Double sockets.... This is acceptable to BS7671.. Also one of these unfused spurs could be connected directly to the MCB at the fuse box... What about if the four unfused spurs were all directly connected to the MCB and there was actually no ring.... so basically 4x Double sockets via 4x 2.5mm T&E direct to 32A MCB at fuse box..... Should these be from 20A or 25A or are they still good to go via a 32A MCB??? My gut feeling is all good to go electrically... BUT quite a strong risk Mr Prat-Head customer may come along later and extend further making spur off a spur from 32A MCB which is not good. [/QUOTE]
