My question is if you’ve got a lighting circuit and you ad addition loads to the circuit will this always trip the breaker if you add too much load on a circuit?
A 13 A socket is expected to be able to deliver 13 A.
Humm, what about a 13A socket on a 32A ring where it just so happened two other sockets were already used to supply 13A loads?
- Andy.
I agree with David Stone; this is unlikely to happen. Diversity takes care of things. Whereas appliances that consume close to 13 A do exist. If you plug one of these into a 13 A socket, diversity does not come into it; the socket is expected to deliver.
