joidevie Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hello..I was wondering on the normes/cable spec. etc for running a circuit (or two, one lighting, one for prises) to an outbuilding around 20m at the back of a courtyard/garden?Is there such a thing as armoured cable? Should one run the main to the building and position an entirely new fuse box?Many thanks in advance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicandJo Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Our Sparky ran two mains out. One to the garage where he installed a new (small) breaker box and one to an outbuilding to another breaker box. The outbuilding has washing machine/drier together with prises and lighting. I think that's a better way to go as it gives you flexibility should you wish to add more circuits at a later date (exterior lighting etc).Not sure about the cabling regs ours is above ground.

andyh4 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I don't know all of the regs. but basically there is a minimum depth and the cable has to be laid in red gaine (plastic flexible pipe). Armoured cable is not required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG MAC Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 However non armoured cable in gaine will be susceptible to rodent attack etc. I would always use armoured and gain the additional benefits of being able to earth down the sheath via a proprietary gland .....oooooooerrrr!

Théière Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Is the armoured sold in Brico's Bigmac? (thinks better learn how to pronounce it properly don't want to ask the assistant for amour) might get a slap [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG MAC Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Yes it is Leroys may be a good bet but I saw some in Bricomarche the other day and it was discounted! (I didn't know the French called reels Bobbines....I do now :-) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
