Re: Question For Judd
Looking at that photo of the cut-out it could be a TN-S supply (separate neutral and earth) included in the incoming cable. The block on the top right of the cut-out is the connection for the incoming earth and there should be a 16*mm earth-wire running to that from the consumer unit.Re: Question For Judd
Yes Judd, we were given a certificate of compliance, I'll dig it out and have a look. I'm glad I was channelling out into lightweight blockwork, at first, i cut in to take 25mm back boxes, but found that, on the single switched fused units, it was just to crowded with the double supply and load wires so, I have had to do more digging and fit 45mm boxes,Re: Question For Judd
Judd, one final question, the spur that services the office will also extend to the Shed/Workshop (it has electrics previously serviced by a portable extension from the house) this will be isolatable by a passive fused spur within the Garage. The question is, is it Ok for this service to be run in standard 2.5mm T&E cable inside a suitable conduit, beneath the new lawn and, are there any connotations involved with the terminal socket being 33 metres from the consumer unit?Re: Question For Judd
Sorry for the delay. Didn't see your question.Re: Question For Judd
Thanks for that Judd, and the tutorial, as you know, I never take the easy option, and will sink the cable. The present lawn is about four inches below its new finished height so I will dig down a foot or so for a distance of about 18 metres. Everything associated with this supply will be visible inside the garage so, subsequent owners of this property will be fully aware of the specification (and limitations) of the installation.
