a radial is only rated to 20a whereas a ring main is rated to 32a

I could understandÂ* either a 32A ring (or 4mm^2 radial) for
kitchen/utility, but high current for TV kit?


Could be useful for emergency fan heaters on boiler failure.


Yes, all 3-pin sockets have to be able to supply the full 13 A


I wasn't suggesting anything lower than 20A
