Hi,
I've just recently changed a C/U that had a supply to a garage via 2 core 2.5mm SWA. The cable on the old set up was coming from a main switch that was seperate from the house c/u. The garage has a small c/u supplying 1 socket and some lights.
I havn't reconnected the garage supply because i'm not sure if it is going to comply with 17th Ed. I've got a new c/u for the garage that has RCD protection and the new c/u in the house is also fully RCD protected.
Would it be justifiable to put the supply cable on its own circuit in the new house c/u where it is RCD protected and use the SWA for earthing?? Is a 2.5mm cable big enough?? The garage won't have any big loads, probably just the lawnmower.
I'm trying to get this job sorted so I can use it as an example for inspection, any feed back would be very helpful.
