Garage supply

[uksparks]

Hi,

i went ent to look at a job this morning where someone needs power to a remote garage in the garden, it's only about 8 - 10 meters away from back of house.

unfortunately it's not really feasible to run it on its own circuit for quite a few reasons, yet this would have been my preferred method.

is the general accepted method when coming off a ring to essentially create a lollipop circuit, so connect from ring to SWA back to small garage cy, is the accepted method just put a 13A FCU off the ring and run a bit of 2.5 swa to a garage cu?

obviously I'll check the zs and R1+R2 at point of spurring to calculate max length of spur.

is this what you would do if cannot get it on its own circuit? Or would you just spur off with 4mm and take that direct to a garage cy without the 13a FCU?

Why do you need advice to run a spur off a RFC.?

Have you told your customer you sre unsure what you sre doing and going to seek advice on the internet?

These 2 statements look like you are asking for advice to me, rather than a statement of intent.

 

[uksparks]

No not at all, I was just wondering what most people do? I have connected a lot of outbuildings and know what I'm doing, I was just asking what others did if there's an alternative that I'm not aware of.

Dillb, you always seem to twist everything, actually I do t think I r we recall seing a post from you that's not negative or twisting in some way.

Call an electrician mate get him to do it

 

[uksparks]

Clearly I better call one as apparently I don't know what I doing.

I am in no way having a go at you or trying to insult you uksparks but are you a time served Electrician, because I have got to be honest quite a few of your threads do worry me and they sound like the kind of things a knowledgeable electrician wouldn't need to ask.

We are all constantly learning in this job but I have noticed recently an alarming rise in people who say they are Electricians having to resort to the internet to get their answers.

 

[uksparks]

What have I asked that has caused you such concern?

 

[Plonker 3]

I think this thread needs locking before it gets out of hand

Or could it be that the standard of english being taught at school is at an all time low AND BS 7671 is written in jargon with too many possible interpretations??
