does it matter seeing as you are obviously just trying to be a smart arse and not helpful to me.

Will you be selling tickets for when you start to connect up your submain and will you have medics on hand?

Unbelievable

i think you guys are getting a bit over excited about this post :sad3: only one person has posted a helpful reply about the lights. i am not claiming to be a fully certified qualified electrician with a lifetime of experience in electrics, but i do have a lifetime of experience repairing diesel engines, gearboxes, hydraulic systems, have also spent time at sea as an marine engineer with more generators and electric motors than i care to think about along with all the miles of control cableing to go along with it (when you are in charge of the engine room at sea it ain,t too easy to phone someone to come in and do it for you ) etc as an aside most of the machines i have worked on i can also operate. so with the little experience i have along with a dose of common sense i am reasonably comfortable doing my own workshop electrics, if i wasn,t comfortable with it i would get someone in for sure. its not that i don,t want to pay someone to do it its because i want to do it myself. anyway hope that puts people in the picture and if anyone has some helpful posts they will be much appreciated by me regards gdg

We get quite a few queries like this, from those that think electrical installations is a simple bish bosh and it's in!!
If it were so easy, why do you, and people like you, have to come to a Forum and ask the basic questions in the first place?? There are rules and regulations governing all aspects of electrical installations, that in the most part, need to be complied with. For anyone here to answer your questions adequately, they would also need to identify those regulations to a novice such as yourself. Thinking a ships installations and it's equipment bears any resemblance to a utility supplied farm installation, is straight of, pretty naive of you!!


Find a good electrician that you trust, to design your new extension requirements. From there you can negotiate between you, as to what work you can safely carry out to keep your costs down, (ie, excavating cable trench and back-filling etc) though you will still need guidance in ANY work you carry out on this type of installation.

good morning appreciate your reply the design requirements i am happy with (maybe other members are not?) as it is the same as old workshop which had been rewired by a qualified electrician ( installed 2003) in fact cable runs will be shorter due to shape of new build also all the same machinery to be used so cable loads will in fact be lower if anything. The lighting side i have not designed yet as i have not decided on type of lighting to use yet which incidentally the original post was about along with best way to join in new supply also no suggestion there either as regards the laying of the swa cable underground that will be the easy bit. in our business we have done a lot of cable laying for domestic supplies up to multiple wind turbine installations so am also quite confident in correct procedure there (in fact if more electricians would adhere to the regulations concerning cable burial and the correct use of warning tape eg the tape goes above the cable not in the same level or often below it would make our job a bit safer when digging trenches for drains etc )

Ah I see. Well I can swim and Im an electrician so Im pretty sure I could be in charge of an engine room at sea. Sound simliar?. To be fair your experiances do not make you compentant to design and carry out the work required. There is a lot more to electrics than putting brown in L, blue in N and green and yellow in CPC. Which is why your not getting much help.
