Extending Cooker Feed - Notifiable?

[dhutch]

I currently have a 4mm csa cooker feed which terminated un-used behind a coverplate in my kitchen adjacent to an external wall.

My preposal is to extend this down to floor level and to an IP67
16amp socket on the outside of the wall from which I can run my garage/welder.

Would this fall as notificable work or not?

Outside socket - yes it is.

Yes, but then your double pole bathroom switch/extractor probably was too

 

[EFLImpudence]

Definitely.

In kitchen.
Special installation - outside power.
Is the circuit RCD protected? If not, that too.

Do you mean a 16A socket?

Outside socket - yes it is.

Excellent. And presumably if instead some swa was hard wired onto the end of it inplace of the socket and ran that to the garage, thus putting the socket inside, that would still be notifiable?

I was only asking about avilablity of parts, thats not notifiable is it.....

It is RCD protected.

And yes, I did mean 16amp. Although that may turn into a garage consumer unit with ring main, 16amp radial, and lighting circuit by the time someone is doing the job.


This sort of jobbie thing:

As you don't mention it, should we take it as read that you'd replace the breaker, or take it as read that you wouldn't?

Supplied by a 30/32A circuit? I think not.

by the time someone is doing the job.

Might be an idea to get that someone in now, have them install a garage CU properly.

whats wrong with having those three circuits fed from a 32A supply?

Surely its no different to a 60A service fuse feeding two ring mains, an electric shower, some lighting circuits etc as you would find in most properties around the country...

Might make sense to use a 20A radial socket circuit rather than a ring though i guess.

No discrimination between the devices in the garage CU and the one in the house CU.

the garage ring doesn't necessarily need to be ring, a 20a radial would be more than sufficient, dependant on load, if it was my garage I would probably just have 2 x 16a radials, one for the welder, one for socket outlets and a 6a ltg cct

Yes, if a 16amp socket was fitted, it would be supplied from a 16amp MCB.

If it was run to a garage cu the breaker would be sized to suit the cable, 20amps.

At which pint, as said, the garage 'ring main' could as well be a 20amp radial but either way a handfull of double sockets, dedicated radial to a 16amp socket, and half a dosen 5ft fluros on a 6a lighting circuit.
