1. I am replacing the cable from my house CU to an outhouse which involves a short (3m) external cable run along walls from the house loft. I will use 10mm SWA for this but wonder whether to connect it to 10mm T/E via a junction box in the loft for the several metres run along joists and drop into the house CU, or alternatively use SWA for the complete run. I haven't worked with this size SWA before and am worried that it is very difficult to work, T/E of this size is bad enough.
2. The outhouse is currently supplied from an MCB in the house CU. I am intending to put a new CU in the outhouse with its own RCD and MCB's. Is this ok or should I see if I can take a new tail to supply the outhouse direct from the house supply?
Thanks for any advice, Jim.
