Hi members, we recently moved a new house which has 2 sheds in the garden, both of which have an electricity supply. Set-up is the feed comes directly from the trip-box to the first shed. In the first shed is a junction box, with 3 wires. The feed, the first shed plug and the feed to the next shed. The next shed is the same with jsut a plug inside.
The second shed however is old and very damp, so I have switched off the main feed to the sheds. Now I opened the junction box, hoping to see what I am used to but alas, it was a little more complicated than my knowledge so far stretches.
All I want to do is disconnect the feed to the second shed.
The wire that feeds the first shed, and then the wire from the first shed that feeds the second shed is a thick black wire. These two thick wires I think, are twin and earth with an earth amoured feature.

Now when opening the junction box I discovered two wires, which I think are the earth armoured connections to not be connected. I have a fairly good idea about what its all about but with electricity its much better to be safe than sorry and ask some experts!
Here is a shot of the set-up, I apologise for the poor lighting but I did not want to connect the supply with the damp shed and with the junction box opened.
Shed Junction:
The top of the junction box leads to the 1st shed plugs with a standard twin and earth core. The left leads to the second shed (what I want to remove) and the bottom is the feed from the trip box.
Now you may be thinking, just remove the second shed feed, why are you asking this, but I have plans to purchase a new shed, which I will eventually want to wire back up using the same set-up displayed now.
Thanks in advance, any advice greatly appreciated!
