Help needed. Garage wiring

[DavidSpark]

Umm, i know what the problem is, you 2 “qualified electricians” cant give any advice because yous dont actually know what to do in my situation.
I know in my profession if someone asked me for help id be glad to give some advice, but suppose when you dont know the answer its hard to give advice
Please go look up the meaning of a forum

I was trying not to cause disrespect. The situation you have described isn't a hard one to solve.



Going by what the definition for "forum" is, it is my view that you do not have the required knowledge nor competence to complete this task to comply with all the relevant regulations.

Please enlist the help of a local electrician, and enjoy the rest of your day.

Davidspark. Thanks for your comment. Appreciate the feedback, something to think about. I know the easy and best option is to hire someone, but where am i going to learn anything I wouldnt get the chance to spend the days with the electrician when hes installing the wiring. And for advice around here off a spark is costly enough when callouts are £80+ But no your wernt correct in saying im not being honest in getting a spark to do the final connection, i understand how dangerous it is.

Seemed to have caused some annoyance. Wasnt intentsional, it was aimed at the 2 that cant give advice, even if yous thought i wasnt compentent in completing the work, a simple hire an electrican would of been sufficient.

Ask your electrician then.

Casper, I can see why your ----ed off, no work to go to? You obviously dont have much knowledge or you would have a job to go to. See ive met people like you before, sitting on forums giving abuse to people who want to learn new things, go get a job you bum, you know nothing.

Go wire ya garage. Oh yeah ya can’t. You say it’s £80 call out which is expensive but you are hiring one to final connect and test. I think you are a little liar. Be honest about what you’re trying to achieve and help might be there. I do know what I’m doing otherwise I wouldn’t be qualified. Good luck with you job.

What do people expect, im going to sit here an take abuse? No, wrong. I came here for advice and get nothing but disrespect.

Yes casper, £80 for a bit of advice, then to get him out again to make the final connection. You might be qualified but your certainly mustnt be any good at it. Its an interest i have an want to complete, its not about the money!

Il make sure you write to yous all when i have completed the installation, thanks so much for all your help, greatly appreciated

If someone wants to charge you £80 for giving a quite&advice then find another electrician.

I could tell you exactly how I would want things done if I was coming to make the final connections, but if another electrician saw it they may not like it and want it done another way.

There are multiple ways of doing a job and complying with the regulations, how can we know which way your electrician wants it done?

Also you’ve yet to tell us important information required before giving advice on a compliant design.
How did you calculate the size of SWA required?
What is the earthing arrangement, Ze of the supply and Zs of the existing sub-main?

I think you will struggle to make a safe and compliant installation with the materials you have in that picture.

Thats what their charging around here for a callout, all i want in the sheds are a radial circuit for 4 - 6 sockets, circuit for 3 lights. Its 4mm t&e swa, running 3 meters from house to main shed garage CU into a 40amp rcd. Unfortunately i know nothing about the earthing.

[casperLennon]

Unfortunately I know nothing about earthing. Well done and good start. You won’t be able to write when you blow ya fingers off ya daft sod.
