Default Wiring Ring mains to MCBs in consumer units

On 28 May 2004 10:27:34 -0700, (Matt Beard) strung
together this:

Well, at the best this setup is non-standard and dangerously confusing
(unless very clearly marked).


Nope, just dangerous.

I am not sure it the regs specifically forbid wiring
multiple paths


They do in this way.

at the very least you would need the wiring to
be able to safely carry the 64A that you are effectively protected by
(assuming a single load or fault at the mid-point of this "ring"). In
this 32A+32A case you would need 6mm^2 conductors (rather large for a
ring).


Nope, it's still dangerous and wrong.
