Ring circuits
Ring circuits are very similar radial circuits that each socket outlet is
fed from the previous one, but ring circuits the last socket wired back
to the source supply.12

Block diagram ring circuits. Each ring final circuit conductor must looped
into every socket outlet joint box which forms the ring and must elec-
trically continuous throughout its length. The number permitted socket
outlets unlimited but each ring circuit must not cover more than 100m2
of floor area.
