Calling forum sparkies...
I need a new DB for the garage. After seeing what @daleyd has at his place last week it looks perfect for my needs., but not sure what I need to populate it with.
(N.B I'll be getting a qualified electrician to connect this up, if I ever get hold of him.)
This board is fed from a C40 MCB at the house
1) 13A sockets on ring main 2.5 T&E - running your usual garage stuff, drills, Myford lathe, grinders etc. Worth having a C type for the motors?
2) 13A socket on radial 2.5 T&E for washing machine and tumble drier
3) 16A socket for welders 2.5 T&E
4) Lighting circuit done in 1.5 T&E (I already had it)
5) Temporary outdoor socket at the end of the garden where I'm building a new workshop, feed is armored 10mm T&E
6) Feed to eventual DB in above mentioned workshop. Might as well get this now and when I've finished building the workshop swap the feed over, leaving me with a spare way on the board. The new workshop will run general 13A workshop stuff from sockets, computers, lighting and might feed some garden lights in the future. 10mm T&E as above.
Advice appreciated.
