Socket

This document discusses radial final circuits according to BS 7671:2008. It contains a figure showing a diagram of radial final circuits including a 20A and 32A circuit. The 20A circuit uses 2.5mm2 cable for all live conductors and a BS1363 socket outlet. The 32A circuit uses 4.0mm2 cable for live conductors, allows an unfused spur from the origin in the consumer unit using 2.5mm2 cable for a single or twin socket outlet, and notes the number of socket outlets from a fused connection unit depends on the load characteristics and diversity.
