bad connection. Radials suffer much worse from them than rings.


A ring has more connections so a bad one is more likely.
The effects are different.


and if there is a break in a radial circuit it is very obvious. Not so in a

What about a disconnected earth? No obvious symptom in either case - but
more likely on a radial.

TBH this question comes up from time to time, and there is no simple
"circuit type x is better because" type of answer - each has pros and cons.
