On Sun, 6 Mar 2005 20:36:19 -0000, "Mike" strung
together this:

I have two ring mains, (downstairs and upstairs) both fed from 32A MCBs
in the consumer unit. The 'downstairs' MCB has three live connections,
so I assume there's a spur somewhere ?

Sounds like it.

Might not be. When we tended to have smaller CUs it was quite common to run
three wires from the CU through sockets in various directions and join them
all together at some remote point so that all sockets had dual routing.

Er, sounds a bit Heath Robinson, like. Think you'd better just observe
this thread and try not to partake. Having a rough stab at something
that might resemble the correct answer is not a good idea.

If you read the rest of the thread you will find it is not as it seems
anyway.

Not sure if this is still allowed in the latest wiring regs though.

Hopefully not.
