110V 16A sockets in a ring arrangement

Tom D

I am planning to make a 110v circuit containing up to 10 x 16A 110V single sockets. The circuit is up to 100m long. Is 32A MCB type C and H07 4mm2 will be ok for it or I need to take into consideration of using RCBO instead and calculate voltage drop to size required cable properly?

    First, why are there so many sockets please? If it is to enable machinery or tools to be used at different workstations (OR), it may be fine; but if it is to enable multiple machines to be used (AND), will you not overload the circuit?

    Second, a domestic ring depends upon the BS1362 fuse in every plug. How will you replicate that?
