I wish to renew the power supply to my garage and would like to know if the following will be satisfactory. I understand that I will need to get it checked by a qualified electrician under part "P".
Cooker-cable tails from a spare fuse way in consumer unit into a RCB - the existing consumer unit has pop-out fuses (MCBs?). There is a length of 5 core 2.5mm multi-strand armoured cable already buried under the driveway. Connect this to the RCB and to a "garage consumer unit" as sold by Screwfix etc.
In the garage I plan to run a ring of sockets in 2.5mm wire and a ring of lights in 1.5mm wire. I may add an outside, weatherproof sockets as well for the mower.
Does this all sound satisfactory? Any advice would be welcome.
Thank you.
