Hi, I am thinking about getting an external light in my yard and running power to my outbuilding in the yard. Does this need to come straight from your consumer unit, or can you spur off something close to the desired area of supply? Where does the cable need to be ran when it goes outside? Thanks, Gareth.
Ideally straight from the Consumer Unit where it can be safely isolated to a small Consumer unit in the outbuilding where you can then run your supplies and lights, make sure your supply cable is adequate enough for the job
Don't quite get your reply JP, without a doubt the best way to take an external supply source outside is ideally from a spare fuse way in the property, if one os available, running out either underground preferably with SWA cable or overhead via catenary, to the outbuilding where it must be terminated in a suitable enclosure, ie small RCD protected Consumer unit.
