Garage Supply

[mnmwill]

Afternoon All,

I have to run a supply to a garage in a house I am working on at the moment. There is already 6mm SWA running to the garage from the kitchen at the back of the house. It was terminated into an old rewireable 1 way fuseboard in the kitchen. The SWA is running under the patio and then under the decking into the garage and I was going to utilise this but am now thinking about just running 2.5mm T&E from a non RCD position on the board straight through under the floorboards to the back of the house and then linking there to 2.5mm SWA and running that in conduit to an RCD enclosure in the garage. Any thoughts on the above would be much appreciated as I want this job spot as it will be used for assessment.

Cheers

Matt

Couple of questions.

1. How far is it from the board to the garage?

2. Where will you be linking the T&E and SWA. Will it be accessible?

3. What will it be feeding, just light and sockets?

OK....3 questions

Hi Mate,

Thanks 4 the response. It will be a run of about 12m with T&E, I was thinking about using FCU to connect the SWA and T&E inside the kitchen (so it will be accessible) and it willl only feed 1 double socket and a light.

If you can I would run the T&E through the wall into an IP rated adaptable box on the outside and link your cables in that.

30 Amp Weatherproof Junction Box - IP65

Your T&E comes in from the back and you can gland and terminate your SWA into the bottom.
