Catenery for shed supply

[Geoffers]

Howdy y'all,

Doing a shed supply (Lets leave PME out of this please!!)

There's no chance of burying the cable whatsoever!.......has to be a catenery wire (only 2 meters max). Does it have to be a certain height? ....I can't see anything in the regs......it will be above reaching distance, but if there is something in the regs can someone tell me where abouts please!

cheers in advance!

as long as whatever is liable to need to pass under the cable, that's all.as far as i know. i would define reach as around 8ft.

table 4b osg?

 

[telectrix]

so, 3.5meters then.

 

[Geoffers]

so, 3.5meters then.

that's ridiculous!!! 3.5m ?? .......client won't have that.....that'll be a 2m mast sticking out of the top of the shed!!.....ha ha! ....I'll have to run a copper strip to the ground in case of lightning!!

Just use a bit of commonsense, it's a domestic shed for god's sake, and only 2 metres from the house...lol!!

 

[i=p/u]

and commensense would be to mount it at required height, put signs up and tie tape to cable, ask few questions to whom maybe using it, rcd protect it

how many out of 10 engineer 54 for my response????

 

[Engineer54]

No Comment!! lol!!

 

[i=p/u]

[Geoffers]

This would mean filling out the "Deviations from BS7671" section on the EIC ...ooooh....never had to do that before! how exciting!!

 

[i=p/u]

Could you not attach a piece of timber to the shed and the house spanning the gap and use this? Maybe attach steel conduit to the timber for mechanical protection. It then would not be a cable spanning two buildings or structures as the shed would then be part of the house as it is attached to the house. Just a thought

a good thought at that, the distance is short enough between house and shed for that to work and be pretty stable. Chees for that mate! gives me something to go on!
