If you actually owned 3 x 3 kW heaters it would suggest it's your only

Yet more rules that the user doesn't know!


You can't design a normal 32A 2.5mm T&E ring circuit that can't be
abused but you can blame the user it appears!


Sigh. If you 'abuse' it the breaker will operate.


So connecting a few kW of load at one end isn't abuse?
Why the rule not to do it if its not a problem then?
You can't have it both ways, either its a problem and you can't do it or
its not a problem and you can plug what you like in where you want to.

So can you damage a final ring by plugging in loads (by design) or not?
