Discuss Terminate SWA in Wiska or straight to Garage CU in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Many many people read these forums looking for help without daring to post.
The irony here is anyone reading it wouldn’t know what about this thread is dangerous. Except of course, me.
To be fair there is too much information required to do what you require , cable sizing , cable protection , earthing arrangements and a whole lot more. To say you need an electrician is a fact, not an unfair comment.

You seem to be missing the vital point. I didn’t ask those questions.
I may be a mere DIY member of public, but an SWA connecting to a CU is exactly that. Yes there are tons of questions around the installation, but I didn’t ask them.
There will be an SWA and there will be a garage CU. And the garage is where this gets supplied to.
They are, and were, the only variables in my question.
 
You may may not have asked those questions but you must realise that you need to know how to do what you are proposing safely .
From your responses this does not seem to be the case.
You cannot blame us to be reluctant to give you any more information that would lead you into danger . That is my vital point.
 
What responses are dangerous? Not one person had said what they are referring to so no, I don’t understand. Neither will anyone reading this.

I asked what is best from the point of connecting to the garage from the SWA. That is the context.
:sweatsmile:
 
If you have 5 weeks to spare then you can get fully conversant with it all and ride off into the sunset with a part p logo stuck to your saddle
:tearsofjoy:
I barely have 5 mins spare. I’m only on here today cause I’m stuck on a train.
I would have loved to got on that course and become a fully pledged spark. But the course numbers weren’t there for the night course.
With kids and mrs who works nights and being stuck in my job as an IT consultant. I don’t see it changing.
Shame but it is what it is as they say.

Unfortunately you can't simplify it this way. The more you try the more ignorant you sound about electricity and the regs.
I tried to help. I asked relevant questions regarding the install and yet you still don't answer them.
Again, there is more to it than just your question and the more this post goes on the less capable I think you are of doing the job.
