Hi everyone,
This is my first tread in electrics forum and I would like to thank you for your help in advance.
I am doing my conservatory and patio electric with help of my dad. It is 4m x4m area(conservatory)
I have attached a photo of the lights and socket plan.
Would be grateful if you guys could review my shopping list and let me know if I need anything else or have to change to a different part.
My metre ,old fuse box and main feed is located in storage room and my new fuse box will be place in kitchen(8 metre) distance between too. The cable from meter to old fuse box is 6mm(length 0.5m).
My question is:
1- would be ok to extend it to 8m length to new fuse box using same 6mm? If so What amp junction box I must use? Would 50A be enough(out of curiosity)? (3 bedroom flat with gas heating system) ( I am not sure what AMP is coming from main). Qualified electrician going to install the main. We are just extending the wires from old fuse box to new fuse box. Don’t want to mess with main!!
My shopping list
I am using 32A for Patio Heater(socket outside)
I am using 5amp for lights (outdoor and indoor)(conservatory different to rest of house)
I am using 13amp for ring wall sockets(conservatory different to rest of house)
I am using 2.5mm Twin&E for sockets
I am using 1.5mm Twin&E for lights
I am using outdoor cables 1.5mm for patio lights
I am using 6mm cable for outdoor double switch which is going to be used for patio heater.
One consumer unit
blackplates etc are considered.
2- Can I get a extension from a 6mm cable that I wired for patio heater to outside for a florescent light and a freezer in my shedby using a junctionbox? Or I have to wire them separately to fuse box?
3- Can I include the outside socket with inside sockets(my conservatory) as part of the ring?(outside socket for light usage)
4- Would 2-Way Lever Connector 222 be suitable for 6mm cable(32A) cooker that is going to be extended to new fuse box? I never used connectors in this country, not sure if they all can get up to 6mm cable.
Thank you for taking your time to answer my questions.
