This is the outside wiring to the garage which I'm not impressed with to be honest. However, I don't know if this is acceptable as per current standards. So, it's on a 15A fuse running from the CU to the garage. It supplies the garage where there is one double socket and one light (see vid 2)
Btw the keen eyed among you may have noticed the bonding cable on the gas pipe. There was a note in the gas meter chamber about this (see pics). Seems like a simple fix though - I'll just move the bonding to the inside of the house - before the pipe exits the building.
- Is this wiring and fuse rating acceptable as per current standards?
- How would you wire it ideally if you were doing it now (without digging a trench; i.e. keep it on the wall. conduit? steel cable? , etc, etc)
- Is there any regulation that says a cable cannot run alongside a gas pipe? I have the floorborads lifted inside and can see a nice route to where the gas pipe leaves the building. That way most of the run would be inside
- Referring to the second vid (inside the garage). Whats that first switch? do you recognise it? looks like a fused spur to me. Is that acceptable? shouldn't the garage have it's own CU?
