[QUOTE="michaelsf90, post: 521708, member: 34408"] The shed is supplied via a dedicated circuit. It's a 32A rcbo in the consumer unit. The 2 2.5mm twin and earth's run under the floor to the utility room which is an extension and a concrete floor. From there it's in a mini trunking sat above the skirting that can't be seen due to storage, fridge, freezer etc. Then in the corner it's drilled through the wall to a wiska box outside. From there it's jointed onto a 4mm swa which goes under the flags and is buried to the shed. About a 7 metre length of cable. That then feeds the shed consumer unit. I did it in 2.5 so the cpc was slightly bigger and as a ring as to be able to put it on a 32A RCBO. A 4mm or 6 mm twin has only 2.5 cpc. I'm considering upgrading it to 6mm twin and then the swa to 6mm. The load is negligible outside tho. If it was possible to run the swa straight to the mains I would. The armored is a 3 core so has a cable earth and has been glanded off properly with a banjo so good earthing outside [/QUOTE]
