yes the 110v Distribution board is fed from a double wound transformer centre tapped earth so the fault voltage is not more than 55v. The equipment used is all 110v portable.I have since learned the 16a ceeform sockets may be wired only on radial circuits. the number of sockets is unlimited but...

thanks for the info ban-all-sheds,as for the 110v ive got to wire about 7 110v industrial sockets on a long about 100m from distribution board and back the sockets themselves are rated at 16amp and i was going to wire them in 2.5mm swa cable off a 30a breaker but it was mentioned i may have to...
