Default Extending a 13A ring main under a floor - suitable connectors?

2.5 T&E is not rated to 32A, nor does it need to be on a 32A MCBed ring.


But it is rated at up to 27A, so using a connector rated at only 24A
makes it the weak link, after all we don't know how far round the ring
this junction box is ...


The up to 27A figure assumes the cables are "clipped direct" or
embedded in masonry/plaster. In reality the actual capacity may be lower.
