16A on Ring

Sparkingchip:

I have assumed the original poster is the same RustyH as on the old forum.


We had a Discussion  started by RustH four years ago about matters relating to socket ring circuits, it didn’t actually go into the issues of supplying ornamental pond equipment, which this one already is or supplying swimming pool equipment as is proposed.


A discussion forum is not the place to redesign this socket circuit, it needs someone onsite to decide what needs to be done. Raising questions about technical issues on a forum is one thing, trying to do the complete design is another.

Hi Andy,


Correct, I used to use the old forum during my training and had some fantastic help from a number of members that are still active on this forum, which is great to see. 


The questions back then where indeed regarding ring circuits, questions I had during my training. 


This question was merely to seek some guidance on what I had read on this forum previously to do with adding a 16A RCD / MCB on a ring.


Surely a forum is a place to allow those who may not have gained years and years of experience yet to ask questions they have uncertainty of, and get guidance from those that may have been in that situation before. 

It also allows those questions to be in the domain for others that might be unsure at the time of assessing a job to research the answers on the forum. 


I don’t feel I have asked for anyone to design me the circuit, I have thrown up what I think would be right and guidance has been shared. 


If you feel the questions I have asked are not to the protocol the forum is trying to promote that please could you get a member of the admin team contact me to advise what is acceptable and not acceptable in this forum. 


Much appreciated
