Garage Wiring- The Plan

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Something else you don't understand.

Please stick to giving unsuitable advice about boilers.

At least there everyone knows to ignore you.

[snip dangerous advice from our resident looney]

[Andy Hall]

Cable protection is fitted, by design at the supply end of the cable. Go and read the standard.

No. The size of cable that would be used for a connection to the garage would be too small to carry the current necessary to blow the main fuse. Hence a lower value circuit breaker is installed *before* the cable to the garage and *after* the main supplier fuse.

This is the safe combination.

[Doctor Drivel]

Nope the original still stands. Take off mcb run single cable cables through conduit. In fact, my suggestion is just brilliant as usual.

[Doctor Drivel]

So, it is protected.

[Andy Hall]

Go and read the standard.

[Matt]

But its far better to employ an under utilised plumbing counter assistant to do the digging .....like Dr Drivel for instance.

No worries Drivel, there will be a 5A MCB in next doors garden shed that will stop you getting vaporised.

[Doctor Drivel]

Some mothers...

Why don't you stick to your own advice? I only see Dr D. via your replies. I'm getting close to KFing respondents.

[John Rumm]

As I demonstrated it is *not* adequately protected. This *should* be obvious.

I explicitly asked if you thus intended use of 35mm sq singles in your conduit so as to ensure that the cable rating exceeded the main fuse rating on a 100A supply. You answered "No".

Now you are saying yes?

Would you care to make your mind up please?

The altitude is not relevant.

Just because *you* can't run it neatly.

What's unappealing about the sensuously smooth curves of glossy black PVC sheath neatly formed and clipped into place?
