Hey all
Been quite some time since I've been on here so first off a big hello and hope everyone's well. Personally, I've gotten a dose of Man Flu but I just have to get on with it I suppose.
I'm after some advice really and any opinion's would be greatly appreciated. I am going to be starting a job this weekend that entails a partial rewire to the property and the installation of a new consumer unit. The con unit comprises RCBO's and I am considering putting the shed (will be fitted at a later date) on it's own individual circuit.
The shed itself will house a light, a socket and an alarm. You might ask why an alarm? well, that's what he wants so I'll fit one.
There is no facility on the rear kitchen wall to come off a socket and add an FCU, hence my proposal to run it from the new con unit in the house. I wonder if this is overkill because of the fact the shed will have such a minor current demand.
The shed will be located approx 2M from the rear wall so I thought I would run a 2.5 T&E to an adaptable weather proof box and then from there run a 2.5 SWA 3 core to a small dist board in the shed. Put it on 20A RCBO so it's RCD protected.
Not sure if this is the most practical or best design method. Am I missing something? What would you do?
Thanks guys
