Oh rgt, my feed into the house is 100a

Oh rgt, my feed into the house is 100a

?

Lol no, should now be all sorted, and hopefully everyone can settle back down now

Right electrician has been out today and asked to see the permission letter from the association, he's happy with that, he's happy with the ring circuit I've done and the installation of the cu, he's said he will use 10mm swa and a new 63a MCB.

I'm certainly not asking what I need Sonu can switch it on myself. It's true what they say little knowledge is dangerous, but I do enjoy learning new things and always set the challenge, bugbid thought I'd ask a few simple questions in here to help me along the way.

I get your point, but in my view, what's already there has been there for X number of years and inspected and passed testing annually, however there are only 3 sockets in the garage and 2 Double sockets in the office as radials. I've installed a ring to the garage with a few more sockets and a...

1 - answered 2 - answered 3 - answered 4 - earth at the supply, I have no idea as there's earth's everywhere supplies by Scottish power 5 - the cable at the supply end is currently connected to a 32amb MCB (installed last year by housing) 6 - the cu is metal, all cabling which is visible is...

So I can install with 6mm to the new cu. Is the working of the load fair? Watts / volts = amp? So the pc is 800w / 230v is 3.47amps? So if the office in total is 31.6 and the breaker is 32amp, should I up that to 40 to allow anything else to be plugged in, ie Hoover?

I apologize, it was meant to be 6mm not 16mm

And yet here we go again I've worked out amps used a cable calculator and still no sensible input from you

Looking at amps I would work out that the office runs at.. 1 amp for light 8 amp pcs (based on 800wat / 230 volts?) Printer 2 amps And 12 monitors at 1.8amp each Total office, 32.6 amps Garage would be 4 chest freezer 8 fridge freezer 3 lights Total 15amps Overall total - 47.6amps...

Ban all sheds, rather than constantly copying and pasting, a simple answer would help, ie, If I was you, Use this link to calculate the total amount load and this this link to see what cable size is required. If someone asked me for help with something I'd try my best to point them in the...

Lol 12 monitors as I'm I have a 737 flight simulator being installed in the office hence why I've decided to change the wiring

Maybe I should try and explain it better.. the 6mm cable feeding the garage at the minute isn't causing any issues but it's not installed right, it leaves the cu in the house, and exists at the side, clipped directly to the building and then going underground, no conduit or nothing just plain...

Lol yeah I know that, I think the problem is the 8 sockets in the office that runs from a single 13amp plug which is plugged into a socket in the garage, which is why I've changed this and installed a new ring circuit. I just wanted someone to double check if 6mm cable feeding the cu was...

It's the 32amp mcb that trips with the saw and Hoover on together. The total load will be 12 monitors, 2 PC's, chest freezer, fridge freezer, and 3 lights and a printer. The garage is attached to the side of the house, so wiring route from cu to new cu would be approx 10m, I intend to drill...

The 32amp in the house which currently feeds everything but o my if I plug in the circlular saw at 2600w and a 1200w Hoover, but I think it's because the socket they are plugged into runs of a plug plugged into another socket . The trip isn't the issue tho once I've connected the new board up...

It's a simple enough question. I'm competent enough to know how to wire it up, I'm simply asking which would be the correct cable to use, 10mm or swa 16mm? For the record, I didn't do the previous wiring up, which is why I'm changing it

I won't be testing it, I will be getting a electrician in to inspect and test but obviously want to save as much as possible Installing the consumer unit was easy, installing the ring circuit and sockets was easy, I'm simply asking a question as to which is best practice, 10mm or 16mm armoured.
