Customer wants a number of sockets to work benches in the middle of a 'largish' shop floor. Walkways all the way around, high ceilings.
I'm sure others would have come across this sort of problem, would appreciate some ideas!
Changed a CU today and noticed the kitchen sockets were wired in 4mm t&e surface mounted in trunking and on a 32A breaker. Now, the CCC for this is strictly only 30A (ref.method B). Would anyone be overly bothered about this? Common sense tells me that it is unlikely this cable will be asked to...

Hi Guys,
