Power to shed

[Andy Fenn]

Would like to run SWA 22 MTRS from house CU to a new shed CU which will have one 6amp MCB for a light and one 16amp MCB for 3 sockets.

Can someone please confirm the SWA size and the MCB for the house consumer unit. A reference to the regs would also be great.

To make the house cu connection easier, is it ok to connect the SWA to a junc box then use T & E for the consumer unit connection.
If so, what size should the T & E be for connection to the house MCB.

Many thanks.

Same or larger than the SWA.
