Power to shed

[123bill]

Hello all ,
I’m currently in the middle of readying my garden for next summer , basically I want to put power into my shed. running a 4mm armoured from the house to the shed and into the board inside the shed. The boards that are on sale have a 40amp main switch and then the two breakers for sockets and lights. My main question is what size breaker should I use inside the house for the power ? I was going to use 32amp… this is being done by a professional but I’m just pricing it up and getting a general idea.

• How far is the cable run?
• Where will the cable be ran?
• What will you have in the shed which uses power?

About 20metres , cleated along fence , small heater/chargers/radio/ small fridge maybe.

32A is acceptable

Is the electrician happy with the cable being fixed to the fence?

I don't like cables clipped to a fence panel , looks naff and if the panel gets blown down it pulls all the cables out of place

It would be along the actual fence posts along the bottom around 30cm off the ground , the concrete slab section.
