Ring Mains; ends to different breakers?
Morning all,
I've just moved into a new (to me) 1950's ish house, and as part of my moving in, decided to identify which circuits are which breakers are at the CU. I have two mains rings (upper and lower floors) that have the ends connected to two breakers. I have found one uk.d-i-y thread dating from 1999 suggesting this as appropriate when connecting more than 10 computers on a single ring, but have not come seen this in anywhere I've lived before. However, this is also the biggest place I've lived, so maybe that's it. So... 1) Is / was this normal practice at any time? 2) What's the likely impact ? (breakers not tripping in the event of a fault?) 3) How urgently (if at all) should I look to change it? thanks in advance, Michael. |
