Garage supply

Former Community Member over 3 years ago

Hi all,

I’ve recently been asked for advice and found myself reluctant to give an answer without a second opinion.

Question -

Is it possible to run in a garage supply using 4mm SWA off the house ring and protect the garage via a CU - 25A RCD with 16A and 6A MCB for sockets and lighting?

The garage is located at the very back of the house, the DB is at the very front and there is one ring circuit for the upstairs and downstairs (Kitchen is on its own ring).

My personal opinion would be to run in a new supply from the board in the house, however accessibility is supposedly an issue and the house has been recently renovated. For which reason this method of supply has been suggested.

Many thanks in advance,

Jack

In one way, that's where I'm going … if one were to decide that a circuit could be both a final circuit and a distribution circuit, then you agree it's not purely a final circuit … which then means it could well be a “circuit not covered by Regulation 411.3.2.2”.

It may also mean that where other regulations concern final circuits, they too could also be either used or ignored at will …
