What Is Radial and Ring Circuits?

Think of a simple Circle that has a radius and periphery. The electrical circuit in your wiring system that looks like a radius is called a Radial circuit and which one looks like a periphery or ring is called a Ring circuit. Oh! this definition seems to layman, not professional; let's know the details-  

A radial circuit is an electrical circuit where the feeders to each socket are taken directly from the consumer unit or distribution board (DB) or circuit Breaker (CB) like a 20A MCB. 

A ring circuit is an electrical circuit that has two feeders both coming from the same 32A MCB or RBCO in the consumer unit and heading off to different ends of a loop circuit. Ring circuit also known as Ring Main circuit.
