Introduction A ring circuit is a wiring technique used in many countries (like the UK and Kenya) to power sockets efficiently. It allows current to flow in both directions around a loop, minimizing voltage drop and balancing the load. Tools and Materials Needed • Twin and earth cable (usually 2.5mm² for sockets) • 13A switched sockets • Back boxes • Screwdrivers • Wire strippers • Continuity tester or multimeter • Circuit breaker (typically 32A MCB) Basic Ring Circuit Connection Layout The consumer unit (CU) supplies power to the first socket. Each socket is wired in sequence until the last socket, which is then connected back to the CCU, forming a complete ring. Steps to Connect Ring Circuit to Sockets 1. Start at the Consumer Unit (CCU): Use a 32A MCB and run a twin & earth cable (live, neutral, earth). 2. Connect to the First Socket: Live to L, Neutral to N, Earth to Earth terminal. 3. Run a Second Cable to Next Socket: Continue to second socket and connect same terminals. 4. ...
