Discuss elec. power to a garden shed in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Not under fault conditions but with the Mickey Mouse soft test of a loop tester you may get inaccurate results.
 
it is the perennial power to a shed post. there should be a separate forum on this site for anything to do with running power to a shed or garage. maybe we could make a lovely step by step diagram and guide on how to do it, how to test etc... as a week doesnt go by without the same questions cropping up. I do recall the IET and NAPIT making a similar guide a few years back - wiring matters? it was simple enough to follow, only thing is the diy'ers started getting to work causing chaos.

Theres an idea. electriciansforum pdf files or little guidance notes. all nicely branded and sold to folks out there... could be lucrative for the site!!
 
In the grand tradition of shed-threads......Somebodies got to suggest TT-ing it. I volunteer.

TT the b****r.

I actually wired a shed this very day. 4mm all the way SWA then T&E and Zs of 0.63 at the furthest socket. :)
your MBE is in the post. ( send cheque to Campaign for Attention of Shire Horses. if that's a bit too long, just use the abbreviation C.A.S.H. ).
