Wiring a 3 gang switch

[rainydays]

Need some advice on wiring a 3 gang switch fellas!

Right putting some lighting in my shed. One in the shed, one at the back of the shed and one at the front all getting switched off a 3 gang switch. Is it possible to run the phase from my consumer unit straight to one of the gangs then spuring off to the other two gangs and from there running the switch live to the lights?

None of the lights need a permenant live feed.

Cheers fellas

I assume you mean 'straight from a 6A mcb in my consumer unit'

In that case, basically yes you could do it that way. Connecting all the neutrals together in a terminal block also behind the switch. This is becoming quite a regular way to do things.

By the way, you didnt mention the most important bit:

I guess that you are planning to run a new cable out to your shed for this?
How will this be done?

Cheers thought that was the case. There is an armoured 4mm already wired in with sockets wired up allready, so will be adding the 6A breaker to the consumer unit in the shed. then will get my local spark to test the circuit.

As George Michael once said, "..if you're gonna do it, do it right, right?"

Where do these local sparks come from that are prepared/able to test and notify work done by somebody else.

This is a new circuit, isnt it?

Don't put them in a tin when you've finished with them - they can spontaneously combust...
