Hi all
I could do with some advice on the electrics in my garage. At present the garage is on a radial circuit with armoured cable running from a
20A mcb in the house to a single socket and a light at the garage end (cable run is approx 10m). As I want to use the garage as a hobby workshop I'd like to add half a dozen double sockets and a few more lights - equipment will include a lathe, milling machine, welder etc but there will never be more than one thing running at one time.Based on the above what would be the advantages to adding a further CU in the garage & how would you suggest I split the circuits - I was thinking radial circuit for the lights, ring for the power sockets, separate radial for the welder (this needs a 16A socket) and another circuit for the door opener (garage only has entry via the up and over door so don't want this tripping accidentally)
Thanks
Jim
