[QUOTE="kme, post: 16392, member: 113"] You seem to be suggesting that the 20 A radial will trip before a 32A ring? Define "trip"? come to that..... define "well before"??? Well before what???? Sorry, but the post does not appear to make any sense. If you can explain yourself, we may be able to shed some light on the matter. AH!!!!!! You`re talking about circuit overloading. - not "tripping"! Yes, a 20A radial will not hold 6Kw. But, a 32A 4.0mm radial will!!!!!!! As I seem to remember saying, we`re talking about the "typical" domestic. They`ve got thermostatic rads in every room - where are they going to put 6KW of heating????????? Besides the point - YOU asked why rings were preferred. I answered. Nothing at all to do with "nuisance tripping", which is NOT an overload phenomenon. Think I`ll go to bed now:( [/QUOTE]
