The two rings run different routes back to the CU, when they leave the

can easily intercept them near where they enter the cellar, and
interconnect them so they form a single ring. But that actually makes
the circuit path much longer and is more work than just connecting
them both to the same MCB as a kind of doubled-up ring. The latter
instinctively feels wrong to me, but I can't put my finger on what
would be wrong with it, so I am wondering if I am making work for
myself.

Connecting 'two' rings to the MCB wouldn't be a standard circuit


But any deviations from BS7671 can easily be noted on any test or
installation certificate.

Common sense does apply.


Unless you are down to your last spare CU way there's nothing wrong
with having the sockets split across a couple of circuits for
convenience.

Two 32A circuits at the CU would be better
