I have a house and outbuilding, im looking at putting power to the outbuilding from the house supply,
I was thinking as im unable to add into the fuse box,
run protected in some way 2.5mm cable from house to outbuilding, from the house, take a spur from a existing socket ring main into a surface mounted 30ms rcd socket with a 13amp socket. Then put a plug on the 2.5mm cable, effectivly adding a plug socket and extending the other end to the outbuilding....
The outbuilding will maybe power a few 150w spot lights, and inside lighting, nothing that a normal socket wouldnt handle, on the outbuilding end, prob just have a few interior sockets for lighting...
So i guess its one big extension lead with rcd of the house main...
Is there a better more professional way to do this?
Anything which can be more safer?
The cable will be run in the plastic trunking along a wall rather than dug into the ground.
Thanks
Paul.
