Shed Electrics
Can someone help me with their thoughts on shed electrics.
I want to run electric to my shed, and am planning to use 2.5mm SWA cable so its protected. How deep should I bury it - I can do this under a hedge so should avoid random spade attack etc. I want to run 1 internal double socket, I IP55 external socket, 1 internal strip light and an external PIR light. Real questions a- 1) What should the MCB rating be at the house consumer unit and should it be RCD protected? 2) Do I need to add another consumer unit in the shed? If so what should the maximum RCD rating be on this? 3) Should I add a local earth rod? If so what guage of earth wire should I use to connect to it? 4) Is there an electrical book that I can read, that can help me with this kind of question in the future? Thanks Quigs |
