Ring Final

With reference to 433.1.204 and cable as installed has min capacity of 20A if protected by a 30A or 32A. If the protective device is reduced to 20A how is the new minimum as installed capacity calculated or arrived at ? I've been looking in the Electrical Installation Design Guide, but the answer is avoiding my eyes.

  • Well I always thinks you should do the best yer can.

    A quick (note quick) reckon might nudge you to think "Oh this might be a bit better" judge the loads and frequency and duration of such - a quick mental thought not reams and reams of calcs and sometimes you come up with a slightly better arrangement for very little additional thought. I see quite a few do rings as a radial then bring a long run from last point to complete a ring which is a bit pointless.  Depends upon the setup. Especially a couple of kitchen & garage rings I did just a few alterations to get the heavy loaders in the mid 1/3rd instead of near one end might be worthwhile
