Hi, this is my first post so sorry if I miss some of the etiquette that usually accompanies these questions.
I'm also slightly embarrassed to be asking it, as I'm sure I already know the answer.
I have a contract for a company that install timber framed out buildings in peoples gardens, (30 grand sheds!) The contract allows for the first and second fix of the buildings along with the connection and testing of the installation. The feed, is an SWA, spec'd but not ran by me. This is ran in place by the groundwork team, usually long before I set foot on site from the consumer unit in the property to my new sub consumer unit in the new building.
Anyway this has worked fine, without hiccups for a number of years,maybe 60 buildings or so down the line. This next job however has apparently no viable access to the consumer unit from the rear of the house. It is a ground floor garden flat, in Maida Vale, with an immaculate interior that has no viable route for a cable of any form. The client is ready to pull the plug on the job, and the director of the company having assured the client that a solution is in hand has requested me to meet them onsite in the morning with said solution.
I'm confident of being able to reach a socket, but not confident 13 amps will suffice for the load of the building (LED spots, sockets, 2.5kw panel heater,and smoke alarm). I think 32 amps would be ok, and the board at the new building will be rated accordingly to achieve discrimination.
What I'm asking in a very long winded way is this; is there a SAFE way to pull 32 amps from a ring circuit?
Like I said I think I already know the answer to this!
Thanks in advance.
