I have tried to pick the bones out of everything I have read out of everything I have been told and read about supplying my garage with all important leccy.
I have 10 metres to run wire from the box to the garage.
I am going to be running a phase converter.
I will be running a colchester Mascot 2500 with a 7.5hp motor.
I also have Tig 201 and a Mig 250 plus lighting of 6 six foot fluorescent tubes.
Plus the various drills grinders etc etc all of these will not be used at the same time as I still only have one pair of hands despite what my wife may think.
So it will be quite basic. I already have some cable but even the place I purchased it from decided not to bother telling what amperage it is.
I have a 50 amp fuse/trip in my box although I have a 60 amp rated fuse on the incoming supply (according to the label), although I have yet to check, I think the extra single fuse box is to supply my 10kw shower. This was installed by an electrician and think its taken direct from the incoming supply leaving the 50 amp supply in the main box unused. It used to be for the cooker but we switched to gas.
