Hi there,
I'm looking to update the wiring in my garage and wire a new shed up at the same time. The shed is 3ft from the garage and i will be feeding cables thro a conduit between the two. The garage is currently supplied by a 3 core SWA cable that measures 15mm dia with insulated cores measuring 4.5mm dia over the insulation. The garage is about 3M from the house with about 6M of the SWA from the consumer unit in the house to the garage. I've purchased an MCG RCD protected garage unit with 2 pole 63A 30mA RCD, 1X 6A MCB type B & 1 16AMCB type B. The box construction is plastic.
I would like to have 1 double socket in the garage with 2x 4ft strip lights. I also currently have 2x 150W flood lights on the garage as well.
In the shed I have fitted 2x 600mm lg 115Lm strip lights, a 120w flood outside and maybe a double socket in the shed.
Questions are what sort of switches/junction boxes do I need in the shed, ie waterproof ones or just normal ones that are used in the house? By the description of the SWA cable running into the garage, what sort of glanding do I need? I was looking at an external gland kit 25 IP66 item 66552 from Screwfix. Any other information/tips would be appreciated.
