Just had a go at wiring me new shed.

[Alan Reynolds]

Got some stupid quotes to run 30 metres of armoured to my new shed so decided I’d have a go. Do sparkys make up their hourly rate and material cost on a GuessoGraph? They wanted around £1000 and wouldn’t use the armoured I already had and wanted to put a new consumer unit in too All in it cost me £200 including the swa. Any major errors that you can see? I’m a poor pensioner, or I would have been if they had their way.

Just don't sell your house and you will be fine. Sparkys aren't certified without good reason

Id be happy with that, the 50a breaker might be a bit big depending on cable size might be my only point

It doesnt matter its just marked as untested, its up to the buyer then if they want to get it tested or not

Where is the 50A breaker? The SWA is on a 32A.

I would be using the £800 you have "saved" (or a part of it at least) and buy some insulation. Either that or freeze your hass.

With those prices, I’d have them certified!

It’s a 32a. The one in the consumer unit is a C because I have a big compressor that has a thirsty inrush which can trip a B.

What size is the SWA @Alan Reynolds ?

6mm

6mm

All good!

Neat job by the way, but as @northwest suggests, I'd be getting that shed insulated and lined!

What's your ze, circuit zs, earthing arrangement, voltage drop cable ccc disconnection times

You're just showing off now!

I actually don’t mind the cold. I’m used to freezing me nuts off on windy race tracks.

its a fair question

It is, I was joking, hence the 'hiding behind the sofa' emoji!

Yep your correct, my bad!

0.15. 0.4. TN-S. 3.6%, 8.6v. 0.4sec

Just get a electrical installation condition report or what ever it's called , unless theyy want to charge you £800 for it

Looks a tidy job better can some so called electricians could do

 

[daedalusminos]

Do you have discrimination on your RCD - they both look like they're 30mA and both feed the shed? Also I'd probably put RCBO's in the shed so that you only knock the respective circuit out.
