Hi Guys,
I have been asked to quote for running a supply to to a garden shed/workshop.The shed is at the bottom of the garden so approx 40 metres of SWA will be required.The existing house CU is quite old with rewirable fuses.The customer wants to use various tools in the shed including a lathe.Total wattage of all tools/machines = approx 8Kw but all will not be used at the same time.The house is supplied via a TN-S system.I was thinking of leaving the house CU alone and use a Henley block via a fuse to connect the swa.I would then install a an RCD protected garage CU in the shed.Would this installation require an earth rod or is connection to the main MET ok.Any suggestions on size of SWA.
many thanks.
