Hmmm see what you mean! Well I have an electrician coming over tomorrow evening to run through and have a look. He said he has no problems me running the cables and marking up what i want where and for what use once we have run through but he will do all the connections and notifying.

Yes John, the 2.5swa from shed to summer house will be on a 20A mcb. The supply to the shed will be a 6mm SWA. The shed supply will be the one that sees the most action - circular saw etc. The summer house will be occasional use of the running machine, 2 lights and a couple sockets for either...

Hi, Thank you. So run 2 2.5mm SWA's from the IP rated box instead of running from one to the next in series? I could do, I have enough cable. The summer house was originally run off a fused spur from the ring main. Doing that I would still require a garage/shed unit in both the shed and...

That wouldn't happen. The only reason there is a heater in there is to keep the frost off my paint! It's a summer house with a running machine in, naturally you get warm by running so it wouldn't be on during that time. If its that cold that I need 2 3kw heaters then I think I would be tucked...

Thanks John. I would say to use all at once wouldn't happen. I mean if the good wife was on the running machine and me using the circular saw outside (I'm a fair weather worker!) then the weather would be as such we wouldn't have the heater on so reducing the load more. The pump and filter...

The worst case maximum I will draw would be; Shed 2 - Running machine which has a 2hp motor approx. 1500W = 6.5A 2kW heater = 8.7A Lights – 2 at 60W = 1A Shed 1 - Circular Saw = 1800W = 7.8A Pond Pump – 3A blagdon powersafe box Pond Filter –3A on blagdon powersafe box Lights – 4no at...

In shed 2 all I require is 2 lights and a couple of sockets, one of the sockets I will have a running machine plugged into, the others will be spare as options. In shed 1 I only require 1 light and a couple of sockets for lawnmower, charging batteries, jigsaw etc obviously these would not all...

Thank you Chri5, PBoD, Attached - I hope is a quick drawing - as I find it easier to understand - of what I think you are saying and what I am looking to achieve. Does that make sense?

Thank you all for your help, in the realms of a little over me so off to get hold of an electrician and let him/her come up with the plan. Thank you.

Thank you for that. I am aware of the regs, I will be getting an electrician in to install, I am just 'knowledge' building and understanding what my options are and so I have an idea what Im talking about when hiring the electrician. If the MCB in the main CU was changed/upgraded then...

Good morning everyone. I am looking to install a consumer unit into my shed and then run another supply up to my summer house. My shed is approximately 5m from the house and the summer housde a further 15m. From my CU in my house I have a 6mm running from a 32A MCB to an outside box from...
