elec. power to a garden shed

[ondro]

Hello,
I have following scenario, 20A circuit breaker in the CU. 3 x 2.5 SWA cable feed to a garden shed CU. In the shed CU I have 0.69 ohm on the income cable. On the shed are two 16A radial circuits of socket outlet. When I do Ze on the sockets , I get 2.9 ohms.
The radial circuits have 2.5mm2 flat cable no longer than 5m from the shed CU.
Any idea why is the reading so high please?

Questions on dead testing being ignored. Has any dead testing has been done?

I actually wired a shed this very day. 4mm all the way SWA then T&E and Zs of 0.63 at the furthest socket.

That's that Cornwall air.

your MBE is in the post. ( send cheque to Campaign for Attention of Shire Horses. if that's a bit too long, just use the abbreviation C.A.S.H. ).

It wasn't meant to be anything special Tel, just coincidence that I wired a shed today, so thought I'd add a little bit of boring detail. Must say the surface clipping was lovely though.

Should have TT'd that Dave

The only metal thing in there was my adaptable box to go from SWA to T&E.
