i've just built a detached garage and about to install the electrics to it and could do with some advice/pointers as to whether i'm doing it right
from the main consumer unit 6mm T&E buried underground(450mm deep protected in armoured sheath) 15m long
Connected to a 100A 5 way consumer rcd unit
off this will be a
1. ring main of 3 double sockets(6mm T&E with a 16A MCB)
2. lighting circuit (1.5mmT&E with 10A MCB)
3. electric garage door (6mm T&E with 16A MCB)
4. outside socket(6mm T&E with 16A mcb) this will have a fused switch inside the garage to isolate it
5. low voltage garden lights will be added at a later date
any exposed wiring will be in plastic conduit down the walls or fixed to the joists
any advice or hints would be welcomed
i hope to get a friend of the family to check it over and pass the "p" regs although i don't want to put on him for doing the work
thank you in anticipation
