[QUOTE="total1, post: 517681, member: 31812"] Hi all, I'm a domestic electrician and was asked to do a job I'm unfamiliar with as follows :- A client has a trike (3 wheeler bike) with a large box on the front which is a mobile coffee serving unit. It is to be static alongside a shops alleyway and I was asked to get power to it. The shop is supplying the power which was an outdoor socket fed by a dedicated circuit off a 32a RCBO and wired as a mini ring using x2 2.5 T&E. My suggestion was to put a commando female wall mounted socket onto the wall next to the double socket and on the trike and make an 'extension' lead using 4mm outdoor flex and male commando ends. Wire into the double socket and then as they want a couple of double sockets inside the trike box I'd use 2 lengths of 2.5 T&E connected to the female commando socket to make a tiny ring. Another electrician has told them that this would be very dangerous. Can someone explain to me where I've gone wrong ? Many thanks and try not to slate me too much. [/QUOTE]
