If im addding an addtional consumer unit in a garage (attached to the hosuse) to provide circuits for a proposed extension and also for a new kitchen,
so:
They specified 2x32a supplys for Hob and Oven. :O
Lighting 6a
Kitchen Ring 32a
Extension Ring 32a
Spare 32a
So was thinking a sixway metal clad consumer unit to go on the garage wall, I would run new cables to the existing CU but there is insufficient room there and also the house will be decorated prior to the building works.
I was thinking SWA as I have only seen up to 16mm T&E
Would you fit a 63A DP isolator instead of the 100A in the Garage CU?
There is a Henley block allready installed so was going to fit a DP Isolator / CU at the Consumer unit end with 25mm meter tails to the henley block. Earthing will be provided by the armour and also a spare core. (PME installation)
What size SWA would you use, as Im sure the modern supply cables arent overly big?
I suppose diversity needs to play a part here too.
Thanks in advance.
