  • I can't spot where I'm going wrong, it's RCD protected, I'm going straight down from the socket, and the cables are correctly rated.

    Do I need to put some "mechanical protection" over the cable?

  • rcd protected - good if 30mA

    tightly ty-wrapped cables - not good, thermal derating/capacity issue, or cg (grouping factor) to be factored into sizing calc

    cable disappearing under worktop and doing a left turn past an appliance generating heat (oven?) - bad, not complying with safe zone concept

    loose lead exiting bottom of fused spur to fixed appliance/equipment - not good, poor practice, requires support and protection

    is fused spur off the adjacent two x ring sockets? - how have the loading factors for the rings and radials been calculated, if at all?

    capping/conduit not mandatory with rcd, but good practice, especially if retrospective access required to cable ways
