[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 482878, member: 1408"] You probably won't find a Reg covering this . Its a matter of common sense and in my humble opinion is in the category of " Working in the real world" The only thing wrong with your proposition is the rating of the circuit breaker , which is a bit too high to cover the 4mm unless its clipped direct . It looks like you'd have to reduce to a 20A or 25A breaker so may as well drop down to 2.5mm radial . I think another option is the "Lollypop" circuit , where the 6mm feeds a 2.5mm ring ( in the shape of a lollypop) and back to a 32A circuit breaker . Welcome to the Forum by the way , glad you found it helpful before joining . Don't forget theres a wealth of knowledge in the archives here ...I think you need at least Bronze membership to access , not sure but someone will. [/QUOTE]
