Hi,
Just moved in to a new house that has a large out building about 80m away from the house. I was told by the last owner that the supply was good for about 63a in the out building but after closer inspection I now doubt that!
There is a 16mm cable coming from the house via a 63a MCB then travels underground to a plastic control panel 40m from the house. In here the supply is split in two (one cable supplies some garden lights from a 6a MCB and 50a MCB for the out building)
Another 16mm cable then goes back underground for another 40m run to the outbuilding where it terminates in to a consumer unit (TT earth at out building)
Is this good for 50-60a or does it all now need looking at? I will be wanting to run some hand wash units, lights, water pumps, sockets etc and want it to be able to cope
Any advice would be great!
Thanks
