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.

What does ATR stand for?
All Terrain Radial
What is the definition of a radius vector?
A radius (or radial) vector is a vector which goes through the origin. That is going directly away from (or toward) the origin. A vector that is not radial is a transverse vector
Is radial an adjective form?
Yes, the word radial is an adjective which describes a noun as arranged like rays or the radii of a circle; a pattern or design consisting of straight lines that all go out from the center of a circle.
What is the definition of Open circuit?
A open circut is a not full rotation like a open circle Answer: It is circuit that has no load connected to it. Therefore it may BE ABLE drive any circuit if if there a load but without a load it is open circuit. Here is an example of an open circuit: a "blown" fuse in a power supply line. Current cannot flow through an open circuit.
Why do you use a 30amp breaker on a ring circuit and a 20 amp on a radial circuit?
Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.A ring circuit has two routes to each outlet, a radial has only one.
What is the difference between a ring circuit and a radial circuit?
It as simple as the name implies ring circuit ,it 's in the circular form that is from the panel to the outlet and back to the panel . While radial is from the panel and stop at the out let without going back to the panel.But note that in a ring circuit you must use 6mm cable and 32/30 amp fuse rated.AnswerRing-main circuits must be wired using 2.5-mm2 cables, not 6-mm (whatever that is) cables.
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.
When a transformer winding suffers a short circuit the adjoining turns of the same winding experiences what force?
Both radial and axial forces.
What is the Difference between radial connection and ring connection of socket outlet?
In a radial circuit you wire 3 cables (live/hot, neutral and earth) from the board to the first socket, and then loop these cables on from socket to socket till you get to the last socket and you are finished.In a ring circuit, the is an additional set of cables from the last socket back to the board. This increases the load that can be put on the circuit.In my country (Ireland) this is generally not in practice any more, and most circuits are radial circuits.
What is a circuit with two or more branches for current to flow called?
Parallel circuit
