Why no Pens Have Been Turned

The reg on undground cable is some thing u need to be careful of but also if you are taking a feed off a existing cu then u should get a sparkey to help as you will need to isolate the feed supply to the house

Exactly and if you clip the mains cable you have to clip a minimum of every 9 inches on the horizontal run and if you go overhead and use a strainer cable to support the mains cable the the strainer cable has to be earthed and the mains cable supported every 9 inches!!!! and we are only scratching the surface !!!!

Also you should electrical test everything thing and make sure it is all ok but the world of electrical is big and also anothe thing to consider is if u want to wire using conduct but it a mine field out there

My advice is to run your ring mains first lights and sockets then install the consumer box sounds like a two way would suffice .......on "trip" for the sockets and one for the lights.......... might be an idea to have space for a cooker feed incase you ever want to put heating or an oven in there. One note of caution if you aint qualified and a problem happens you may NOT be insured. Letme know what you intend to install an i'll send you a layout diagram.

You have to pass Institute of Electrical Engineers "P" certificate to be allowed to work on domestic installations. That is the law and it has been brought out to stop DIYers creating dangerous situations through dodgy working practices!!!!!!!:nonono::nonono::nonono:

But all that doesn't stop dodgy tradesmen.

I think Alex was just showing Frankie a diagram of a CU Terry, not showing how to do it ...

Maybe Jim and I'm sorry for the rant but I've been electrocuted quite a few times in my life due to dodgy practices and I would hate anybody on this forum to attempt something they are not comfortable with and also be electrocuted.
I won't say anymore on the subject and let's get back to turning and banter!!!

Alex is being very helpful Terry is being very sensible I will get a spark to check it and advise me just need to get pally with a spark now
Thanks for all the help trapper I may take you up on that need to layout the shed first thanks again Frankie.

Sorry to bang on, but we haven't mentioned earth bonding yet. It really is a minefield ...

Oh, and if you don't get it signed off by a Part P certified sparky don't even think about selling the house ... Which reminds me, I need my sparky mate to come and certify mine! Costs him (and therefore me) £130 just to lodge the paperwork! somebody is getting rich off this!

Might be easier to use a 16A spur rather than ring mains. 2-way CUs usually come loaded with 16/6 breakers ...

I would say just run a feed from the main house cu to the shed then put a cu there make sure you safely isolate the circuit when workibg on it as you will need to isolate it at the main feed from the cu
