Hi I wonder if anyone can advise me.
My garage currently has this set up:
Power in 1.5mm armoured cable travelling 29ft underground from Consumer unit in house. MCB on Consumer unit in house to garage is 6 amp (and keeps tripping)
In garage I have a consumer unit with a 25 amp RCD, a 20 amp fuse for sockets and a 5 amp fuse for lighting.
The garage has a total of 6 flourescent lights, 3 double 13 amp sockets, and two light switches.
The lighting circuit is running with 1.5mm cable and the power circuit with 2.5mm cable. All are earthed to a busbar in the garage consumer unit.
What I would like to do is replace the consumer unit in the garage with a new one including MCBs instead of fuses, and run new wiring for the lighting and power. Also I believe the 6 amp MCB in the house is too small and would like to know what rating I should change that too.
Can any one give me a spec to work to?
Thanks
Richard
