Some wiring can get more complicated. J. R. R. Tolkien's house had 9 rings for the humans, 7 for the dwarves and 3 for the elves. I presume that there was a fairly large circuit breaker for the one ring-main to rule them all. I heard that the electrician kept muttering something about his

Ahem, please forgive me NFPA, for I have sinned... Wired the 120V service to my shop building in ring topology. Single 240V/40A breaker to the ring where enters building, and each 20A outlet has a 12A 'T' hi-break line fuse. The only hi-X load is small drill press, so no motor issues. The 240V

Ralph Following on from John W's post, some larger properties will have more than 2 ring-mains, plus a number of dedicated branches/spurs/radials for larger loads such as cookers, fixed water heaters and so on. In additional branches/spurs/radials can be used for areas where the ring approach

Yes, that's exactly how it works. A small house would have two rings. Fused plugs rated at 3 A, 5 A and 13 A are sold, and you can get 1 A fuses as well. With best wishes DESIGN IT IN! OOO – Own Opinions Only www.jmwa.demon.co.uk J M Woodgate and Associates Rayleigh England Sylvae in aeternum

An interesting design philosophy which has benefits, but it seems to rely on pluggable appliances having an appropriate size fuse in their cordage. You could for example wire an entire house with 3 or 4 of these circuits, rather than a panel full of circuit breakers so common in N.Am Ralph

I’m not surprised that TUV-SUD (and quite a number of other German, and Norwegian, certification organizations in particular) are seen to be very good in this area because they have been working with many of their opposite numbers in other countries in worldwide regs and certification for far
