Ring Circuit Radial Circuit Diagram. Ring socket circuits spread your sockets around evenly to avoid overloading any part of the ring. To explain a little further using sockets as an example a radial circuit runs from the consumer unit or fuse box out to one or more sockets that are.
Three separate ring circuits are often used for sockets around the home one upstairs one downstairs and one for the kitchen. Ring socket circuits spread your sockets around evenly to avoid overloading any part of the ring. As a guide one ring to cover 100 m sq.
Also cookers ovens and hobs exceeding 2kw should be on their own circuit.
Each separate ring is fed from the consumer unit via an individual 32a type b circuit breaker and a separate 30ma rccb via a split load board or a combined 32a 30ma rcbo device. Each separate ring is fed from the consumer unit via an individual 32a type b circuit breaker and a separate 30ma rccb via a split load board or a combined 32a 30ma rcbo device. It does not return to the consumer unit or fuse box as does the more popular circuit the ring main. Also cookers ovens and hobs exceeding 2kw should be on their own circuit.
