Hello All,
A friend of mine wants me to put lighting into his attached garage,
He wants 2 fluorescent tube lights (28W) putting in.
I have passed my domestic installer course and 17th edition course last year and I'm Part-P registered.
(I'm currently waiting to register with NAPIT and to be assessed on this circuit hopefully)
I have had a look at his house electrics.
Its a TN-C-S system with the old fuses. (Needs Updating Soon)
I'm sure I can spur off the lights in the living room into the garage but I cant exceed the current rating of the cable.
There are only 4 lights on the circuit each with 60 watt bulbs so 60 x 4 = 240w + 28w (268w)
268/230 = 1.2A.
The lights are wired with 1mm cable. (16A Clipped Direct)
Can I extend a circuit on a old fuse board? I'm sure I can :90:
Cheers
(Advice will be very much appreciated)
