The Spanish way?

[electrictiff]

Hi All,

I have to wire some mobile homes that will end up in Spain, anyone know how buildings are wired over there and maybe any wholesalers that stock the sockets etc i will need to use?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Mick

all radials, shuko sockets, Bonding with 10mm give me more details and i'll help where possible. Lenny or phil might want to move this to Non uk section ?????

thanks for the swift reply, basically we construct Mobile home bungalows, each home is made in 2 halves and at present we wire Kitchen on one ring then 2 further rings, one for each half of home, similarly with the lights we have 2 circuits, one for each half. We will be exporting to Spain so need to make sure we install the correct wiring and equipment.

Regards

Mick

Just put a box each half and leave tails to connect radials would be best. these proper mobile homes yes? ie what equipment in kitchen also zones apply in shower room etc.
I once did some work on an Omar 44x20 and also on some tingdene units....... many moons ago

Hi, These are indeed proper units. Although each home is bespoke we normally fit in the kitchen: Fridge Freezer, Dishwasher, washing machine, gas hob, gas or electric oven (Some require 6mm) and a hood, heating is normally Combi mains gas and no electric shower.

I will have to brush up on the radial scene

probably your protection will have an rcd ..and dont be suprised with the incoming cable being 4mm or maybe if you are lucky 6mm ususlly you have to ask for more KW and pay a different rate if you need more power , thats sunny spain .....
