High protective conductor currents radial circuit.

Various guidance shows running an additional cpc as a ring. What are the implications of running two cpc’s, but terminate them as the radial, each cpc being terminated in a separate terminal within a twin earth accessory. Each circuit cpc then terminated separately back at the DB. This would do away with usual steal link on the accessory. Amount of terminations would be the same.

    ...so just taking an extra c.p.c. direct from the last accessory back to the DB is going to be simpler and easier.

    Hi Andy, i see that solution being allowed in 543.7.2.201 (ii) (a) and possibly (b) but the start of 543.7.2.201 says it should comply with 543.7.1 and 543.7.1.204 says connections should be made at all points throughout the circuit, so a ring would not be allowed, more like two ladders. There seems to be a contradiction here.

    edit; 1 ladder not 2 :)
