Hi, I want to add more power sockets to the garage which I use as a workshop.
It's detached and about 20m from the house.
Here's the relevent part of the CU in the house:
And here's the CU in the garage:
Unfortunately I didn't measure the cable thickness from the house to the garage.
The garage is about 28 square meters and there is one double socket atm wired with 2.5mm cable.
I want to add another 7, mostly for convenience of location. I have a lot of power tools but generally only use one at a time (table saw, chop saw, milling machine, drill press etc).
So, in essence I want to wire up 8 double sockets in a Radial with 2.5mm T&E using the existing 16A breaker in the garage CU. Is this ok with regards to safety and the regs?
Thanks
