my son wants to put an electric supply to his shed in the garden.
this is what we propose using a spur
1)from a ring double socket in the house, using 2.5sqmm ring mains cable to a waterproof junction box on external wall
2) using a 30amp joint block connect to 2.5sqmm armoured 3 core cable and run to shed < 10m from house
3)armoured cable to waterproof junction box on exterior of shed connect using 30amp joint block to normal 2.5sqmm ring mains cable into shed
4) connect to 2way rcb "garage" consumer unit
5) connect 16amp mcb to one double socket and 6 amp mcb to one 3ft fluorescent light
Questions :-
1)is 2.5sqmm armoured cable ok ? or does it need to be thicker ?
2)can the armoured cable go straight into the shed and the consumer unit
(and do away with the waterproof junction box and normal ring mains cable to conect to consumer unit) ?
how does this sound ? how much to expect for checking and issuing relevant certification ?
appreciate any help and advice, do not want to compromise safety
thanks...........dave
