Hi all,
Thanks in advance for any help/tips
About to start an outdoor wiring project in a couple of weeks and just wanted to clarify what I am planning to do is ok.
I've drawn a basic diagram to make things a little clearer, please dont laugh
As you may or may not be able to see I am planning on installing a 6A RCBO in the non-RCD protected side of the CCU (Splitload) then running 1.5mm2 T+E to an adaptable box on the outside wall via two FCU's and Two Single Pole switches. From here I will run 1.5mm 4-core SWA (2 independandtly switched phases) to 3 or 4 adaptable boxes throughout the garden to supply 4/5 spotlights and one small feature fountain pump.
Hopefully this sounds ok so far? If so a few questions:
1. Do i need to run a separate 6mm earth from the CCU to the point where the SWA terminates on the house wall?
2. Do the adaptable boxes in the flower beds need to be physically attached to a support or can they freestand on the bed? (I am planning on filling these with some of that clever gel - like resin but doesnt set)
Any other pointers would be much appriciated and thanks again for any help
