Why would you want to spur off of the RFC in the house and put a CU in the shed? bad practice, imo,

Hi Pete: come off the RFC , what am I missing ?.

I was assuming in advance that the OP may, I say may spur off the ring, wrong in this case, probably down to old age and one beer to many. Best to ignor my previous OP sorry.

whaere in wales? one of us may be close to you.

It's in the shed. Are the regs any different?

How would you install it if it was your job?

from a MCB in the CU (DB). SWA to shed. RCD garage CU with a 16A and a 6A MCB. if there are extraneous metal parts in shed, then that would complicate the issue as regards bonding if PME earthing applies.

 

[Jacko]

What size swa would be suitable? I'm guessing it depends on load?

In this case where we only have 1 double socket and 1 pendant?

Hi Jacko: Not trying to be picky, but is it a shed or garage? You've used both descriptions.
In domestic it's called a Consumer unit or CU not a DB.

To be fair it's still a DB though. Earthed/bonded tin hat on.

No worries mate, thought I was losing it.
Mind you with some of the threads lately, it's enough to make us all lose it.
Save some beer for me & tel mate, think we need it

We're getting close to being asked for a step-by-step guide here.

Yes mate, it's still a DB to us older people

Load, length of run, install method and loading

Aaw that means we've gotta bring our own now

Dpg, I wouldn't attempt it. I've never done any domestic work, never glanded an armoured, never even been inside a cu and obviously can't test it produce a cert but I am keen on learning so I am just curious.

No worries mate. We do get some people trying it on sometimes though

 

[Jacko]

I can imagine, shame the 'spark' who installed it didn't ask first haha

I would willingly buy you and Tel a pint or two, but you aint having any of my Staropramen, that would mean I would have to wait until Friday for a re-supply
