Good Morning everyone,
I was wondering if someone could sanity check my proposal. I am new to the trade and want to do things right.
Went to a customers house yesterday who wants an external socket and security light.
He has no RCD on his CU or free space.
He has a existing spur off a socket in the kitchen that goes to a utility room. The utility room socket is used that much and has easy access to the outside wall on which he wants his socket and security light installed.
I proposed the following:
1. The existing spur we have I put a 13amp fuse spur with an RCD.
2. Connect the fuse spur into a back box from which I can use Wago or connectors to wire up the existing spur (this is now connected to the 13amp fuse spur, so I can spur off it again).
3. I can also connect the outside IP rated double socket (which will now be RCD protected)
4. For the outside light put in another fuse spur with a 6AMP fuse and connect the outside security light to this.
All new connection for the outside are RCD protected. I run the cable in some conduit and so it's mechanically protected.
The existing spur is also protected via an RCD.
Issue a minor works certificate - job done.
Can someone please advise ?
Thanks
