Hi guys, I've just been given a date for EDF to come and connect 3-phase supply to my garage at home (I'm starting my own business and unfortunately the control cabinet I'm designing needs 415v 3p, so to hold off renting a unit I thought I'd power-up and test the machine at home).
I've sourced a distribution board etc. but obviously need it wired, I would do this myself but don't want to break any laws!! In order to keep costs down I thought I'd fit all sockets/cables etc. then get a qualified person to do all the connecting and testing. (Do sparks hate it when people try to 'get involved' like that?)
What's the best wiring practices? Is it best to wire the 3p runs in swa...god I hate working with that stuff!, or can I use something else run in metal/plastic conduit/trunking?
As my garage wasn't wired at all when the house was built I'll put a couple of 240v ring mains in too, is it best to put that in the same conduit/trunking?
Sorry if these questions are a bit stupid, I'm just trying to do the right thing but by spending the smallest amount of money possible!
Thanks, oh great forum by the way!
