Hi
We are having a summerhouse in a few weeks and it will be used as a gym, we will require electrics in this summerhouse for lighting etc.
I am very competent in wireing and understanding some terms and regs of electricity but by no means a pro....
The summerhouse is roughly 15m away from the main Consumer unit in the house.
I would like to run a treadmill, a portable aircon maybe, a fan, 12v downlights, lcd tv/radio and maybe odd times the lawnmower from the sockets.
my intended plans:
GARAGE CONSUMER UNIT FITTED WITH A 30mA RCD AND TWO MCB'S: 6A + 16A
20m of 3 core 4mm gauge SWA cable burried deep in the grass with warning tape
2x double 240v 13amp sockets radial using 2.5mm T&E
Can I connect the SWA directly into the consumer box on a non RCD side this is the unit:
Can I then use the house earth or should I use an earth rod at the shed and isolate it from the house earth?
Thank you
