Garden Shed

[Hartlepool]

Asked for a favour-Wire a graden shed.Can anyone give me some advise....
There is an external junction box on the house with armoured cable 10-12 mm 2 core I think?This is going into the shed at a height of 12 feet ?Once in I will attach and RCD 30mA then off to a junction box to spur off to skt and light.
Question?Does this look okay???Is there anything I am missing for the job?Do I need any special connectors for armoured cable into RCD.
Just getting back on the tools after a while and would appreciate any advice please keep this simple...

Thanks in advance

Your not really a spark are you?

Are you notifying the building control? How are you going to get it tested?

 

[cagedanimal2010]

my 1st question is, are you sparky? and i am not being disrespectful or anything of that nature, however for someone to suggest a 10-12mm 2core,it just sounds a bit funky.
also is there any other services in shed?

Special connectors, like glands maybe?

A little knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge.

The girl can not find anyone to do the job and the information was asfter a quick visit tonight.I was going to ask another spark to check it over who has the relevant domestic installers certificates.Yes I am a spark and as I said in the post have been out of thetrade for sometime.

Unless you know this other spark and he knows the quality of your work and trusts you implicitly I think you'll struggle to get it signed off and notified mate

 

[Hartlepool]

I know you are not being disrespectful?However I am just putting it out with the info I could get after a brief visit.It may sound a bit funky whatever that means but the overall cable dia looked about 10-12?All she wants is a socket and light.Perhaps it should be taken from consumer board on the RCD that way but cable already there?Only looking for advice..

 

[Hartlepool]

Looking for advice after being off the tools for a while.Never used armoured cable advice thats all I am asking ...Thanks

 

[tigerpaul]

Cables are measured in cross sectional areas not diameters..
So your probably looking at a 16 or 25mm

So how come you dropped out of the trade?

 

[Hartlepool]

Could not agree more however how would you do it?Or is that your advice??

 

[micknew]

Best get the advice and quote after an inspection by a qualified electrician.
To give advice without seeing the job could result in danger to you or others!

 

[Hartlepool]

Your right csa and not diameters that was the overall size as I saw it.Dropped out of the trade because there was no work mate.However tigerpaul I would still like to know how you would advise to do the job?

 

[Hartlepool]

Thanks your right....however I am a qualified spark who has been off the tools for sometime as you can tell.
