[QUOTE="WetBehindEars, post: 479836, member: 31333"] Hi, this is probably the wrong section. I am an apprentice, and recently started with a firm. Just your basic installs so far. The guy im working with does some questionable things, with one specific job in mind. We have been asked to add a sub board in a garden garage, for basic power ring and lighting circuit to run TV, sky box, PC etc (a mancave) there was already a cable running from the front of the house to the back supplying just one socket (40A breaker) but it got condemned (hence the request) my guy is saying it will be ok to use the same cable (4mm) up until the garden, then junction it into (4mm) SWA? Then add the sub board and run everything from that. Does the sub board not need its own earth point because he is saying the main board's earth is fine? And is it ok to chops and change cable half way through a run? Im a little confused? Thanks [/QUOTE]
