Hello people :D

Great forum! 1st post so bear with me.....

I hope someone can help me out and offer some advice. I want to run a cable from my house to my shed to provide a single socket in the shed to supply a freezer. The shed is about 2-3 metres away from the house.
Heres my questions.....

  1. Is it ok to spur off from a 13A socket inside the house?
  2. Also can you use 2.5mm T&E cable providing it is run in conduit from the house to the shed and buried at least 400mm deep?
  3. I know this will need to be RCD protected so could i use one of those built-in RCD sockets in the shed?
  4. Will I need to install a fused switch next to the socket?

Cheers for any help :)

ElectricAl, for your information I live in Cyprus and as far as i know the regulations and notification concerning Part P do not apply here. I am a tradesman here in Cyprus with years of experience in the building trade in the UK and all I wanted was some information on how to complete this project to a high standard that the UK stipulates. As you may be aware the standard here in Cyprus is hardly of high quality/standards so I would rather do it myself. I can understand where you are coming from though if i was carrying out the work in the UK due to the laws. But I thought the point of this forum was to provide help and information to both qualified electricians and non-electricians.

Cheers
