First i would like to say hi to everyone, this is my first post so here goes.
In my outhouse i have a cu with just 2 mcbs 16 and 6 amp and main switch and no rcd. this is fed from the main cu in the house via a 20amp mcb on the rccb side. The main cu is above my front door so the swa comes through the wall and around the ouside of my house to the back and then on tension cable for 8 feet then into my outhouse consmer unit. The cable is swa 2.5mm. i would like to put power into my shed which is about 10 feet away from my outhouse, what would be the best way of doing this? I thought perhaps i could take a feed from the outhouse consumer unit into my shed into an rcd controlled consumer unit but i am a bit concerned over the 2.5 cable not being big enough for the total run of about 35 metres.
The earthing arrangements for the outhouse which is about 4 feet from the house is via the main consumer unit and i know i need a stake for the shed. The cu in the outhouse is supplying one light via the 6 amp mcb and two sockets for a couple of freezers.
I would appreciate any constructive thoughts in this.
