[QUOTE="supaev, post: 344561, member: 23659"] Hi Trailer Boy I will ask my electrician when I can get hold of him! The present set up which I do not wish to alter much in the shed due to the model railway filling it. is as follows:- 16 amp MCB in new house 16 way CU via 30 year old 2.5 T & E under concrete floor ,20 amp DP switch on kitchen wall at point of egress 16 or 20? amp rubber covered flex through hole in wooden window frame (soon to be replaced) , then outside on ground in flexible outdoor plastic conduit though hole in shed facia , to junction box converted to 2.5 T & E to 20 amp DP switch to ring in 2.5T & E with 3 double sockets and one spur in shed and one spur to adjacent wooden shed. With heating for one outbuilding sometimes one shed,9 lights , 10 transformers for model railway and use of power tools etc.I want a supply from a 32 amp MCB in the Main CU. This was the reason plus new electric shower that I gave the DNO to get the main fuse increased from 60 amp to 100 amp. If I am getting the upgrade done INHO the extra expense in having 32 amp instead of 16 amp is justified in that it covers all future use. If the house was eventually sold it would be sold with detached workshop. Thank you for the information given it will help in discussing it with my electrician to get the optimum solution. [/QUOTE]
