Power to a shed. What are your thoughts?

[Daniel Oake]

Iv'e come across a shed that was supplied via a 13A Fused connection unit with 2.5mm squared flat twin and earth on a 15 metre run inside 20mm plastic conduit that was clipped to their wooden fence every 300mm.

Supplies 6 double sockets and one 5ft LED light fitting.

(earthing arrangement is TN-C-S and no extraneous conductive parts are present at the shed, circuit is 30mA RCD protected.
Tenants say it's over 5 years old and a DIY job)

I was curious to what your thoughts are with it not being in SWA and any other problems you may for-see with the installation.

most garages are feed from houses via 2.5 SWA spurred from a 13amp sw/fuse ring so what is the difference either to two way wylex board and from their .

Don't make any sense Buzz, sorry can you explain in more detail?

PETE was here.

In a perfect world it would be swa back to the ccu and be on its own circuit and own rcd at one end or the other...

BUT imo its fine as it is.

White or Black conduit?
