Hi All,
I'm planning to get power to my newly erected 10 x 8 garden shed, and was planning to do in the following way. Would like thoughts and suggestions if i'm about to do something drastically wrong!!
Armoured Cable from Shed to House.
Inside house I was simply going to wire a plug which plugs into the existing house socket, the other end would go through to meet the armoured cable in some kind of junction box attached onto the outside wall for its journey to the shed.
I assumed that inside the shed I would simply attach the armoured cable into some kind of RCD unit similar although smaller than the one under the stairs?
Does this sound extremely redneck or fairly standard? I should point out this is only going to be used for 2 x flourescent strip lights and and a double socket for use with household powertools, nothing with a particularly heavy drain.
I have done some general electrical work with no consequence so far but wanted to check on this one as its a little more complicated than wiring a couple of strip lights in the loft!
Thanks for any help or advice in advance
