Hi,
I had a socket in my garage connected to the house by a 2.5mm cable spur. I replaced that with a fused spur box with 13amp fuse, then using 2.5 cable I spaced 5 double’s, around the garage.
I use a table saw, band saw, planer/thicknesses, M/T machine, pillar drill, 2 mitre saws & dust extractor. The largest is just under 2kw the rest about 300w Only a max of 2 of these machine are ever used at any one time.
My question is whether this installation is considered safe?
I appreciate a dedicated supply to the garage would be ideal, but for my occasional use of these machines seems an unnecessary expense unless its on safety grounds.
Thanks
Keith
