Here in the U.S., as you all know we don't use ring circuits.

Please bear with me, I have never used a ring circuit. But this is where I first met Paul in a ring circuit thread on another forum.

Hi Paul, and all

Paul, I think I would have a problem with using spurs also. But if we were to do away with spurs and say bring the ends of the circuit back to two breakers on the same leg (say a waffer type) rated at the conductor amperage,(two 16 amp) instead of one breaker at twice the amperage, we would still arrive at the same capacity and reduce the chance of the conductor seeing more than its ampacity.

Of course here we can't parallel OCPD's, so I'm just rambling. [Linked Image]
