Hottub problem over heated plug

[Pete999]

Thanks Pete i take in all you said and understand your reasonings but to do this i would need around 26mtrs of armour cable with glands a black terminal block for inside the meter box and metal box inside the shed + possibly a metal pole to bring the cable down into the shed as thats the only way possible to do it on its own seperate supply and to my way of thinking a black cable pinned in place across the front of a building looks ugly. just my opinion tho.

Without a picture, drawing or site visit, it would be hard to form an opinion Bappibear. perhaps if you got a quotation from a local Electrician, it might give you a better idea as to what is involved in providing a new circuit, if that's the way you intend to proceed. Good luck with whatever you decide.

i did get a quote for a seperate feed was over £450 and i was doing all bar the connection to the meter which i know im not allowed to do as it means cutting the protection tag off. so materials and 1 hour to connect 2 tails into the meter from the block. i thought that there had to be another way which is why i was looking at the ring main as i want power into the shed anyway for other things

Exactly,why would you want to over complicate matters
The perfect world being a dedicated circuit is all well and good,but in the real world other considerations should be made,and as long as it does not compromise safety then those arguments are meaningless

You have a appliance designed by the manufacturer for plugging it in to a socket in mind,you have a circuit that can handle the loading of that appliance ( assuming the ring is tested correctly) with regard any overheating with prolonged use,this will (hopefully) have been considered by the manufacturer before it being put on the market

As I said you seem to know what you are doing and the points that have been made will no doubt be considered by yourself
Good luck with your project when its successfully completed
