EICR code for ring within a ring

Doing an EICR at the moment and fairly sure I have found a ring within a ring, how would you code it?

Protective device 32A MCB and upstream 30mA RCD.

Shortest ring R1+R2 0.17

Longer ring R1+R2  0.54

r1 0.70

r2 0.87

rn 0.72

The short ring has most of the load as it covers the kitchen and fused spur to garage, the longer section is a couple of bedrooms and hallway

Above results to not include fused spur to garage R1+R2 1.10.

Normally I would put a 20A breaker in and code as a C3 but given the loads on the circuit not sure if in this sittuation I would end up with nuisance tripping. 

Appreciate your thoughts

Thanks

  • If you just mean two rings connected as one circuit at the fuseway then no problem it`s just one ring final circuit (providing all other considerations for overloading , volt drop, disconnection times etc etc are met)
