Outbuilding consumer unit

Former Community Member over 3 years ago

Coming back to this wretched EICR at my daughter's house

An outbuilding used as an office is supplied by a 6mm^2 T&E carried from the house on a catenary wire.and fused at the house at 32A (RCD protected)

In the garage the the 6mm^2 is split into a 2.5mm^2 for sockets and a 1mm^2 for the lighting

This is coded C2 for the inadequate protection and C3 for using T&E outdoors. Both of which seem reasonable

Q1 Can I put a two unit CU in the outbuilding with just a 6amp and 16amp MCB or do | need also to provide a two pole switch?

Q2 What do the great and the good think of using T&E outdoors? Should I replace it with hi-tuf?

Ok that was not the intent. Does his report pass the test above? If not then why? I have only one possible answer, not adequately competent.

I can't say that on a forum he might be reading.

But his lack of understanding of what a circuit is, and his belief that putting the two legs of a ring through differant knockouts can cause electromagnetic heating is indicative.
