Tt Garage Supply

[Theorysparky]

3 ccts in a new garage/wood pellet burner room

would you guys bother with rcbos for the 3 ccts or just run with the rcd 100m/s, this being the main switch ????

 

[NozSpark]

What are the circuits supplying?

 

[Theorysparky]

fcu for the boiler

8 sockets

lighting

 

[steptoe]

30mA protection for sockets <32A for use by normal persons,,,,,,,,,,,,

could you justify changing the 100mA front end for a 30mA ?

maybe require an em light.?  might be a lot cheaper though......

 

[NozSpark]

+1

 

[steptoe]

actually, porobably not, 3 x RCBOs at 20£ = 60

1 x 30mA @ 25£ + an em light @ 25£ isnt much different.......

 

[Theorysparky]

but the garage will be TT

Its detached 15 from the house

 

[steptoe]

what would be the risk of losing garage power though?

would the loss of light be a danger?

if its a new CU maybe sbs Dave is the answer, RCBOs for a tenner and a main switch,

OK,

if Im getting this right,

you have a 100mA TD in the house feeding the garage,

if so, then yes, you need to segregate your garage circuits and add discimination.

5 way board 3 rcbos £60

didn't think of an emergency light........... may well add that

 

[Evans Electric]

I'd just put a 30mA main switch in garage board , nothing important in there .

Domestic I presume , so sod the emergency light unless they asked for it .

TT needs DP isolation I believe so most Arseybeeos don't comply.    Or did I dream that one up ???

I never fit Aseybeos but only 'cos my testers knock them out .

I will at some stage go all RCBO in my own garage on the grounds of convenience AND safety. Whist at the moment its basically a storage shed for the 2 shells and amassed Capri parts when I start the body work in earnest I'll be doing a lot of it in the evenings. I can just see the night when I do something silly with the grinder/welder and am left quite literally in the dark with HOT metal close by, tools to trip over and maybe by then an open pit too!

 

[Sidewinder]

External influence BE2 in the area?

 

[Theorysparky]

none

unless you count the boiler catching fire and spreading to the wood chips !!!!

 

[Sidewinder]

Do the wood chips give off dust, are they stored in the area around the boiler?

 

[Theorysparky]

they are but are enclosed........
