Hi guys can I get a little help please as im looking to add a second consumer unit in my house.
Ok so im looking to set up a reptile room in my house but wont to run it on its own consumer unit. So have looked around and ebay is full of garage consumer unit for not a lot of £££. Now I think I know how to go about doing this but would like some input from you all. So ill say how I think im going to do it and maybe you guys can tell me if im right.
1 Turn power off to house Consumer unit
2 Remove tail's from consumer unit and fit to Henley block
3 Fit new tail's same size from block to both Consumer unit
4 Run 6mm power cable from garage consumer unit to room
5 Wire up double wall socket and add power strip
Now im going to be pulling around 900 watt's or around 7/8 amp's. Im going to use around 10mtr of cable at the most so will 6mm be ok ?
thanks guys
