So, i should use a 6a for the light circuit and a ? for the sockets. Also, i was always lead to believe not to spur from a spur, is this not what i'm about to do? Cheers 5amp

PS, Cheers 5amp

Thanks B.a.s, most helpful. I'm assuming i'll use a 6 and a 16 at the moment. Btw, excluding the c/u, how much to install a new 6 way in the house,do you reckon?

Hi B.a.s, Yes it is 2.5mm. no RCD protection Cable run is about 4m. I wanted the c/u for RCD, convenience of separate MCB's, ie, so that if a fuse goes i haven't got to fiddle about behind the kitchen units. Also, as it's a spur, i'm worried about running the lights and say two sockets at...

Thanks B.a.s, I have an update :roll: 1) The spur IS from a fused connection,but then, for whatever reason, a j/box is used just before the cable goes through the wall. (maybe the cable was connected to the j/box in advance of outside work) So, does this mean i can replace the...

Hi all, Yes, it is spurred off the g/floor ring, by means of a j/box. It's standard t/e in an armoured conduit. Trouble is, i've not got any free mcb's in the main c/u. My spidey-senses tell me this isn't good! 5amp

Thanks Damocles, It does come from the house, but what i meant was i don't know if it's direct from the main c/u. I don't think it is. The garage use is just general, but i will want a 16a socket and some spares. By radial, i assume the same as a light circuit? Cheers 5amp

Hi All, Glad to be aboard. I want to upgrade my garage electrically, by means of a c/u. At present, i've just got a buried cable coming from the house, into an isolator. 3 d/sockets and 3 strip lights are then run from this. I want to increase the number of d/sockets to 6 ( on a ring...
