New to this forum so be gentle with me please
Im coming to the end of a self build garage and its time for the electrics
Now I want to point out that I'am NOT an electricitian and not trying to pretend that I'am All the work is been done by a mate whose fully quallified But he's just got married and is spending next 6 weeks touring America But before he went he left me a list of things to do and things to get and yes I've lost the list Idont think he'll be to happy if I rang him this is where I need your help. The garage is situated 20metre's from the house an armour cable is been put along the drive (which will be block paved) the garage will have 6 double sockets 6 flourecent lights 2 on one switch 2 on another switch and the other 2 with there own switches there will be 2 heavier sockets for a 3hp commpressor
180amp mig welder 200amp arc welder (I have some classic cars to restore) Out side there will be a security light and a floodlight
I think he said something about a single CU for in the house
what size?
What size armour cable will I need to get ?will 2.5 t&e be ok for sockets ?1.5 t&e for lights ?
What size for the heavier socket? would this need to go in a ring?
All the cable will be in condiut
Am I allowed to do first fix? thought I was but after reading a few posts not sure now
The garage is under 30sqm so not under building regs incase you were wondering
I know its a lot to ask but it will get me out of a embarassing situation
CHEERS
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Forgot to add that there will be a CU going in the garage and an earthing rod inside garage as well
