Would this be acceptable?

[perry_bridges]

Hi all,im currently an Apprentice and need some advice for a job that my boss is doing.He plans to put a fused spur on a 32a ring circuit to feed a CSU for a couple of sockets in the shed. The cable run is about 45 meters long using SWA (not sure what size).Is this acceptable because this doesn't seem right to me?cheers perry

It is a crap idea! Why bother with a ring final anyway ??

A stab in the dark, apprentice trying to do private jobs without experience??

 

[hotfingers]

More like it! It's not cheap for a ring final in a shed 45m away.. What's your load perry??

 

[telectrix]

who said ring final in shed. OP said his boss planned to feed from a RFC

ooo i was using 32amps as my design current for voltage drop

the consumer unit at the front of the house on an inside wall so im not sure if theres a way to get the cable back to it.

 

[stuartcourt]

ok so as the only eyes we have on your site is yours, what do you suggest

 

[perry_bridges]

im not trying to do anything private in fact the opposite i want to try to do the job properly its my boss who im not sure about.

 

[stuartcourt]

the consumer unit at the front of the house on an inside wall so im not sure if theres a way to get the cable back to it.

I'm guessing it's not gonna be more then 2.5 swa spuring off from the 13 amp fcu

 

[perry_bridges]

yer he has, but i like my job and i need him to get through my NVQ so i dont want to quit till i find someone else to go with.

 

[perry_bridges]

not sure but i doubt h'ill use more than 2.5

 

[telectrix]

then he's an arse.

 

[chris222]

Well i'm sure it'll be ok as no then 13Amps can be pulled from it and i'm sure it'll be rcd rcbo protected

 

[perry_bridges]

really it should be 6mm swa to the shed from the consumer unit and a seperate earth rod?
