Simple extension question

[MasterAbacus]

Hi all...

I urgently need to put some power to the other end if my garage and im considering the following... As its only temporary and using what i have available.

10 meters if 1.5mm fte fitted with 13 amp 3pin plug at on end, and 4gang outlet at the other. All fastened to joists with tiewraps.

Its just to power a light and a laptop.

Not exactly ideal i know, anyone any concerns? Pointers? Advice?


Thanks in advance

Once done it will rapidly become less temporary - that is the way of things.

If you do have a plug, use flex, not T/E - the latter is not designed for it.

But what is the socket you're using? Is it a spur from a ring final, or a socket directly on a ring or radial final?

The socket is on a radial direct from cu to garage on a 2.5mm fte cable.

The other option is to use part of my 25meter extension reel, that is flex...mmmm just remeberd i have that.

The socket is on a radial direct from cu to garage on a 2.5mm fte cable.

On nothing bigger than a 20A breaker, I hope.

Why not just add new sockets to the circuit and be done with it?
