Im planning on running in a supply to my garage (brick building no exposed metal work). I plan to have a few sockets, lights and a couple of outdoor lights. At most I’ll be running a lawn mower or some small hand held tools.
In my meter box there is already a 100A double pole breaker installed just after the meter. I was planning on installing 2 single pole Henley blocks after the braeker to split the tails with one set going to my exisiting consumer unit in the house and the second set going to the new consumer unit in the garage. The garage supply will be via a 4mm or 6mm swa cable and the run is approximately 30m. In terms of protection for the swa I was wondering what is the best way of doing it? MCB just after the Henley blocks? Also the Henley blocks, MCB and cabling will be in the meter box, is this going to cause issues with the supplier? Is there a better way of doing it?
At the garage end I will be installing a MK Sentry Consumer Unit (40A 30mA DP RCD. 1 x 6A, 1 x 16A MCB).
Thanks,
Gareth
