[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 501927, member: 28452"] Assuming the awning is outdoors, and from your description of your fuse box I would advise incorporating an RCD (Residual current device) in the circuit. This could be at your fuseboard if you are having a new circuit, (in fact no spark would install one without), or as a spur unit, a plug in adaptor or a plug. Whichever, it could save your life for just a few ££. Regarding the current rating, as the opening and closing motor is presumably an infrequent load you could get away with a 13 amp circuit.
