Did a bit of rewiring to remove a bypass to an old light socket with exposed live pre-romex wiring. Probably left a few of my own no-nos for future home owners. Forgot to take pictures of the old wiring, but maybe thats for the best, it had been running a freezer for many years. You could just touch it at any time and zap yourself.
I could not even understand the question you were asking until I did a quick web search…
TIL that the US doesn’t (often) use ring mains / ring circuits for domestic power point installations.
I didn’t know radial circuits were still a thing.
You must be in the UK?
Yeah in Canada and US the room size on most homes is large and we require a receptacle every 12 feet I think, so rather than a junction that spiders out to say 8 run receptacles that would require a lot of wire, we wire from receptacle to next one. So you are just doing 12 foot jumpers to each rather than say 30 foot individual from a ceiling junction down to each wall location.
There’s probably pros and cons to each style.
