Default Spurs off a ring main

The message
from Guy King contains these words:

But they /are/ protected by a 13a (or lower) fuse. Several sockets
loaded to
3kw on a spur with 2.5mm wiring will overload the fixed wiring.


Shouldn't do - that's what the 32A breaker in the fusebox is for!


But the spur is in effect a radial circuit and radials in 2.5mm have 20A MCBs.
