Hello Everyone,
Sorry to post a request without answering some questions first but I need some advice for the following installation I am planning.
We are intending to convert a shed into a 'home-office'. I am going to do the work myself and this will involve installing a power supply.
I anticipate the need for:
A few lights (up to say 4)
Sockets (4 doubles)
Heating - possibly storage or other electric type from flex out-let plates
The shed is about 125 meters from the house.
Myquestions are these:
I will have a small consumer unit in the shed for the above circuits BUT, is it okay to take the feed for this from the main fuse-board?
If so is an RCBO or MCB needed - what size?
What thickness of wire to the shed? (??10mm)
Is it esential to use armoured cable, or will T+E in conduit do?
Is an addtional RCD/RCBO for the sockets needed inside the shed?
Is IP56 required - I think not, but..
Many, many thnaks for advice
Aaron
