Hi guys.
I am in the process of applying for eleca registration and I am planning to wire my new detached garage up.
I know this seems to be a common question but there are so many answers out there I thought it would be helpful for me to start from the beginning . My supply is pme aburied underground via a existing power to the garage via a 2.5mm 3 core swa cable which supplied the old shed that I removed this is burried under ground to the house cu and connected to a 20a rcbo.
but it relied on the 3rd core and armor for earth which is not to regs.
my first questions is can i use this existing cable and install a tt earthing system for the garage I've work out that after v drop the cable will take 26amps and the cable has been tested and shows no sign of any problems .
2nd if that comply s and I can get a good test result from a earth rod (or 2) terminate the swa in a plastic main switch housing commenting the 3rd core and armour together and connecting L&N through it to a 2 way cu with a rcd 1x 16 a powerful circuit (2 socket outlets ) and 1x 6 a lighting (4 florescent luminaries) the garage has no gas or water pipes and I will be bonding and extreneous conductive parts.
Dose this sound right thanks in advance for and help and advic
