Radial sockets seem to be detailed in BS7671 appendix 15 as domestic only. Are there any regulations providing guidance for the above?


I was quite surprised to see strings of IEC type sockets CEE arrangement (with earthed pins) linked together with a single radial feed from another socket, of course all unfused. The whole are protected by 20A RCBO’s. Generally the arrangement is as the left hand side of fig.15b, without the junction box. I assume this is standard practice in Europe?
