Hi guys, I'm planing on putting some power to my grandparents garage so I can work on my car. I'm going to put in one double socket which will be running a freezer, and my welder too, and then a couple 5ft fluorescents or x2 battenholders.. whatever gives the best spread of light?
The thing I'm unsure of which size breakers to use. The garage is detached so the plan was to put in a sub main using a 6mm 3core armoured fed from the main consumer unit on a 63A mcb? Then have this going to a garage consumer unit with a 63A 30mA RCD main switch.. 6A breaker for lights.
Then for the socket, because of the high current drawn by the welder, do I:
1. Type C 20A breaker, radial circuit, 2.5mm
or
2. Type C 32A breaker, ring circuit, 2.5mm
Or do i run a circuit just for the welder socket?
What's your thoughts?
Welder specs below (Clarke 150te)
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks, James
