The cable usually used is 2.5mm2 three core (live, neutral and earth). In circumstances where the cable runs are long or derating is required due to temperature 4mm2 is used. The ring main is usually protected by a 32A circuit breaker. In older installations a 30A fuse was used.

WHAT ARE THE RATING OF RING MAIN UNIT?
The normal rating of a UK ring circuit in a domestic system using 2.5 mm2 cable in a ring is 30 amps.
What is a medium voltage ring main?
how, in simple terms, would you describe a ring main (Specifically medium voltage)
What is the use of ring main unit?
ring main unit is distributing the power supply to meter cubicalAnswerA ring-main unit (rmu) is a piece of switchgear that is used to connect a transformer's primary winding to a high-voltage ring main. It consists of three load-breaking switches, each with three positions: 'on', 'off', and 'earth'. They enable the transformer to be connected/disconnected to the ring; the ring to be 'broken'; or the transformer to be connected to either half of the broken ring. The 'earth' positions allow the transformer's secondary to be earthed, or either half of the (broken) ring to be earthed.
What is quad ring main unit in electrical distribution in particular with transformer?
Quad ring main unit (QRM) is used to connect 2 no. transformers at their high voltage side to the distribution system.
Why a ring main is used in a compressed air distribution system?
Ring main distribution system allow compresssed air to converge from two directions. So this reduces pressure drop and mades changes to the system easier.

How long is the main ring?
If you are talking about an electrical ring main it can be as long as you want it as long as it returns back to the circuit breaker with the other end of the cable, which if you didn't return the 2nd end of the cable to the circuit breaker you would have a radial circuit.
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.
What is a domestic electrical supply in which outlet sockets connect to the mains supply through a continuous circuit?
Ring main
Are all houses on a ring main?
I assume this question refers to electrical installations in buildings. In which case, the answer is no. The ring main is unique to the UK and to some countries that have adopted the British wiring regulations. Elsewhere, such as in North America and Europe, ring mains are unknown in domestic installations.
What is a ring main circuit in the UK and the Irish Republic?
A ring main circuit for example is: key: circuit breaker=0 cable=---- socket=[] bends in cable=/ and \ Using the key this is a demonatration. 0---[]-----[]-------[]------[]---[]---\ \---[]-----[]-----[]----[]-------[]---/ Just imagine that there is only 1 circuit breaker in that circuit, both ends of the ring main should link up to that 1 breaker. A radial circuit consists of just 1 cable going to the circuit breaker with sockets on the cable but there is no return path on a radial. A ring main is just like a big circle with 2 ends of cable and sockets around the circle=both ends of the cable linking to the circuit breaker.

What is RMU?
An 'RMU' is a 'ring-main unit', a type of switchgear used to connect distribution transformers to an underground, secondary-distribution (11 kV in the UK), cable ring-main system. It enables the transformer to be disconnected from the ring main, and it also enables the ring main itself to be 'split' where the RMU is installed. Each of the three switches within an RMU usually incorporates an 'earth' (ground) position, which will enable either the transformer itself, or the ring main to be earthed for safety reasons before any maintenance work can proceed.
