garden shed Ze

£££sjim · Aug 20, 2014

I have a question.How do I get the Ze for my shed ? do I get it at the intake to the small consumer unit inside my shed then do the usuall Zs= Ze + (R1+R2)The source of supply is from a socket in the garden that is direct from the house CU RCD protected. or would I have to use the Ze from the house intake position. My shed is stand alone with a light circuit 6amp mcb and two radial circuits 20amp mcb all protected by RCD. another problem I have is if the shed CU trips the house Cu trips too. both protected by 30ma RCDs the garden sockets are 32amp mcb.

Your query- where do I check Ze--Ze is external loop impedance--so its at the DNO service, or more practically-- the distribution board adjacent.

One thing about this thread to some of you know it all type people it certainly caused some interesting results and varying options. Some helpful some sarcastic. We all have various interpretations of the rules and regulations but we are not infallible Is that not why we refer to our on site guides and BS7671:2008 (2011) or even the Electricians Forum. That is excluding the I'm too clever to part with my knowledge or experience. A joke is a joke but bugger a pantomime. Amature armature ha ha armadillos
Any advise on wiring a three pin plug from China from Ebay :fuk2:

No, but I can tell you where to plug it in after you've wired it.

I wouldn't know about that ..... I have more creditors who I pay £1 per month to that the late great Little Waster Bobby Thompson could ever aspire to.
