I agree that it's nonsense and that the rules for spurs should be the same as for any other radsial. However, I'm not talking about 'sense' but, rather, about what the reg appears to say.
As per the pertinent bits I quoted in my previous post, it starts by saying that the reg applies to "a ring final circuit, with or without unfused spurs" and then goes on to say "... Such circuits are deemed to meet the requirements of Regulation 433.1.1 if the current-carrying capacity (Iz) of the cable is not less than 20 A ,,," ... and I so not see that, as written, those words do not mean that the 20A minimum apply to the spurs as well as the ring.
