Shouldn't have more than three sockets on a radial (two gang socket counts as two) unless you have a ring circuit and connect the socket as part of the ring the ring can cover an area of 100m squared and as long as when you test the circuit all sockets comply with the regs regarding earth loop impedance etc then there is no reason why you cant do it
if you make the double socket in the shed an rcd type one then all the better.
That is actually and factually incorrect. A double socket ONLY counts as a single point, and, this discussion has been ahad a few times here, if the spur from the ring is protected by a 13A fused connection unit, there is no limit to the number of points you can add to this circuit. Regarding the socket in the shed, it MUST be either protected by an RCD/RCBO or be an RCD socket..FACT.
why do so many of the so called "experts" on this forum get so shirty when someone else tries to help someone?
Is it solely their perogative to answer questions?
why did i have to suggest using SWA? no need if the cables are adequately protected mechanically on the route to the shed.
I think that a number of us only get shirty, as you put it, when a poster starts off insulting us for correcting the inaccurate or incorrect or unhelpful comments that are posted by certain others.
If you are running cable outside the equipotential zone to supply another installation, which the shed or a garage is LEGALLY classed as, then it must be supplied using the cable appropriate for that task. SWA is designed to run externally, it is UV stabilised and can withstand temperatures as low as -12C. T&E is for INTERNAL use only, is not UV stabilised and should not be used in an environment where the temperature falls below 0C. If the cable is to be buried in a garden, then it should still be SWA to give adequate protection whilst in the ground..inside a duct.
Kendor, if your going to give out advice..make sure you know what your talking about instead of reading it out of "Bob's Bodging Guide to Bad Advice" and insulting everyone in the process.
If you don't like this ..TOUGH.
