Well, the cable itself may be rated to 32 amps, and the breaker may be either 32 amps or 30 amps in an older installation, but never-the-less, this type of installation has always been known generically as a '30 amp ring main circuit' and is generally accepted as being safely rated to 30 amps to include all ages of installation.
