Am I correct in thinking low voltage is anything under 1,000 Volts, typically 440 Volt 3 phase services, split to households and business's?
HV being above that?
I downloaded a doc a few days ago from http://www2.nationalgrid.com/uk/ser...ority/electricity-network-underground-cables/ and the nearest HV underground cables according to these are miles away, which I find a bit hard to believe as I am sure some business's around the area have their own subs.
I am sure the services all run under the pavement in this part of the estate, (late 80's to 90's). The cable to the garage I can isolate from the house if needs be as it is in the main consumer unit with a small set of breakers in the garage. I kid you not it is in choc block in the loft, runs in the wall in twin and earth then goes to an external weather proof box acting as a junction and socket before becoming armoured to go underground. Either done by the builders or previous owners.
Back to the digging part, I put down some 3/4 inch ply sheets to run the tracks on so I do not churn up the grass, big mistake the whole ply sheet was sliding on the grass when I pulled up the kerb stone, I need more practice to get used to the two hand controls for rotate, arms and bucket.
