I require a supply in my garage for lighting and power sockets and so would like some advice on the following.
I currently have a redundant 6mm t+e (old cooker radial) that is disconnect at both ends, can this be connected to a 6mm 3 core swa and ran underground to the garage. The total run will be around 15m from main cu (around 5 meters underground, the existing is ran under floorboards) and If the swa can be connected to the existing 6mm t+e what is the best method of doing this as I would like to try and stay away from having swa run down the side wall of the house
At the main ccu the 6mm t+e would be connected to a mcb(non rcd side) and in the garage would be a cu with a 30ma rcd and one 16A mcb(for socket outlets(tumble dryer, garden equipment) and one 6A mcb for lighting circuits.
Have searched many posts but not found any about connecting the same size swa to existing t+e, so not sure if this is allowed.
