Temporary supply to workshop

JDW

I've started to work from my garden shed/workshop (like quite a few people at the moment) but I have no power 


I have run a temporary supply using an extension lead, but I’m a little concerned about the safety aspects of doing this 



The lead is not overloaded consumption is 400w to 2kw max (if I need additional power I use a second lead) Its protected by a 30ma RCD, and the extension is 10m long 1.5mm three core



This is only temporary, as I plan on having it hard wired in a few months time

    Thank you for your help.


    I do most of the above, both ends are in the dry, I do inspect the cable regularly, it's always disconnected when not in use, (but left in situ) 


    When I use the two leads they are both plugged into the same double socket, but I would never exceed  more than 16a  


    My biggest concern is the leads lying in wet grass and puddles!
