I have posted on this forum a few times, and have also read many posts.
I would like to see if it is actually possible for this forum to work in its true sense and collectively without being shot down try and determine a suitable design and appropriate method of having an installation done.
I have access to a lot of electricians knowledge at my work, all Part P registered and 17th edition qualified, however i get different answers from different people.
So hopefully i can raise this topic and it can be unravelled so that everyone agrees the design and solution.
I know some of the answers, are not sure of some of the abbreviations, Posts on this forum generally seem to weight into more questions than answers so am keen to try and get this one right.
Will start of with an overview of the works and hopefully posters will then ask questions to enable the design process to begin
overview
My under renovation unoccupied house is mains fed from an adjacent pole, There is a transformer at the pole, and also there is a 25millish earth coming down the pole and into ground, this i believe is a "PME" earthing arrangment, there is a 100amp suppliers fuse, with 25mm tails into meter and into my consumer unit. inside my split consumer unit I presently have numerous spare ways, the reason for this is that i only have lights 3 6a mcb and 2 ring main sockets32a mcb on this the sockets are protected by rcb device
I will post details of the switch rating and rcb soon
Okay so what i first want to do is have another consumer unit (or is it a distribution board, not sure of what seems like conflicting titles for these) in another part of the house, this i believe should be titled a submain, from this submain i want to run the kichen sockets, the kitchen lights, underfloor heating x 3 areas, also from this submain i want to run to an external set of stables to another submain, from this submain i want to
1. Power the stables (5 lights, 2 sockets)
2. Run to a static caravan (8 lights, covector heater, fridge, tv, electric blancket)
3. Run to a tin shed type worktop, 2 lights..2 halogen lights, 1 socket.
As you can see theres a bit going on
Heres some of the preparotry work done so far
1. 16mm SWA 2 core cable from proposed submain position in house to stables submain position, all buried sanded warning taped and were entering premises clipped and with plenty of spare on ends. (28meteres total)
2.10mm overhead 3core from workshop (tin shed) to position of proposed submain in stable, all clipped and with plenty of spare
3.10mm SWA cable from proposed submain in stable to caravan all buried sanded with warning tape.
Ok so to get the ball rolling what information will I need to collate to move forward.
