Probably a straight forward one for you all, just a new concept to me.
House has a 3036 rewirable board. Old shower was on a 40amp breaker, no longer in use.
Garage (this is almost comical) is wired as a spur in 2.5 t and e off the house ring main. It goes to the garage and is running three double sockets and two fused spurs. (It stays as a radial in the garage. Garage is connected to the house.
My plan to make good is to put a 3 way consumer unit in the garage, rewire the sockets on a ring (32 amp breaker), light on its own (6 amp breaker) and alarm on its own (6amp breaker).
My plan would be to run a 10mm T&E to the second board off the 40 amp spare breaker. Would this comply? Does it take into account the size of the CPC with the adiabatic equation or does that not come into play? Thats the bit I'm slightly confused about. Cable run will be approx 7 metres, all within the property, no risk of corrosion or weathering.
In reality the 32amp breaker is excessive, six sockets and all that is running is a fridge, a freezer and a motorcycle charger, but it may as well be doubles rather than singles...
Thoughts??
