Hi everyone new to the site.
I have been asked to wire a supply to a mates garage and i am just looking for a couple of pointers.
I havent done this type of instal before so excuse my ignorace if i have a couple of things wrong.
I plan on wiring overhead on a caternery wire as underground is not an option.
Supply will be in 6mm SWA 3core using a core as earth, the run will be 25m MAX, there is no extreneous metal or service pipes in the garage.
I will be coming off a 32a mcb in the house DB which is RCD protected and going to a metal clad CU with a 16a and a 6a mcb to power a double socket which will supply a freezer and occasionally a lawnmore. The 6a will be for a flourescent light fitting. I am quite happy that this is ok. If not please feel free to correct anything.
The problem i am having is the garage itsself is only 2.5m high and my mate doesnt really want a pole coming up from his garage to meet the 3.5m height requirement altho the point i exit the house is just over 3m.
The distance from the where i plan to exit the house to the point i enter the garage is 3-4meters. And doesnt cross a driveway it will cross a small path and over bushes until the garage.
Will i have to insist on bringing the hight up or will it be ok crossing the path at a slight angle down to the garage?
Thanks
