How many 13 amp sockets can a ring main contain?

What is a domestic electrical supply in which outlet sockets connect to the mains supply through a continuous circuit?
Ring main
How many sockets can be connected into an electric circuit?
As posted, the question doesn't make much sense - do you mean spur sockets, rather than plugs? Either way, it will depend on local regulations. In the UK, you can fit one socket on a spur from a socket on a ring main.
What is the meaning of domestic wiring?
Domestic wiring - is the wiring circuits in a house. Basically the ring main (that supplies all the sockets), cooker and lighting circuits.
How many 1.8kW electric kettle can be safely plugged into a 240V power supply?
1800 Watts at 240 volts = 7.5 AmpsIf you plugged two in, that would take it up to 15 Amps.The individual sockets are only safe up to 13 Amps, so this would be too much.So the answer is, one.Each ring main is normally fused at 30 Amps.So you would be able to plug up to 4 kettles, into individual sockets, on the same ring main.
What is a spur outlet?
A spur outlet is a circuit that does not have a secondary path and is not part of the main ring. Spur sockets can have one cable connected to earth, live, and neutral.
What is a ring circuit?
Usually,there are many mains sockets in a flat to provide electricity for electrical appliances.Do you know how these mains sockets are connected to the electric cable that carries electricity to the flat? The electric cable that carries electricity to a flat is connected to the consumer unit.In the consumer unit,the electric cable branches into a number of parallel circuits that deliver electricity to ceiling lamps,mains sockets,air conditioners(or other appliances with high working current),etc.The circuit that delivers electricity to main sockets exists in form of a ring and is therefore called a ring circuit. The ring circuit provides two paths for electric current to flow from the consumer unit to the mmain sockets.Each path only carries half of the electric current.Therefore,the chance of overloading the circuit is reduced.Besides,if one of the paths is damaged,there's still another path for carrying electric current.

How many rings are on the planet Jupiter?

What is radial circuit?
In a power distribution system a radial circuit is one where the components (eg power sockets) radiate out from a central point (eg a distribution board) each wired seperately. There may be one or more components on each leg although to have more than two is regarded as bad practice. A ring circuit is one whereby all the components are wired from the DB in turn and the wiring is finally led back to the origin. In the UK power sockets are wired in this fashion and it is called a 'ring main'. A ring main enables the use of higher rated appliances for a smaller cable size and is therefore more economical.
