It’s been a while since I knew this stuff so I’m calling out the greater knowledge base of the Singletrack collective.
A shed is being converted to be used as a classroom to teach basic car and bike maintenance. It is a permanent structure and has no electrical supply at the moment. It is about 30m away from the main building. They would like to have lighting and the ability to use hand power tools.
Question:
What methods can be used to supply the shed with power?
They must comply with regulations.
Be as cost efficient as possible.
Be as easy to achieve as possible.
I believe I have managed to convince hubby that an extension lead is not suitable but he is asking about what if it has a RCD socket at either end? What if it is wire cable suspended over the gap? What type of cable can be used?
It is nearly 20 yrs since I did this stuff and TBH haven’t got the energy to research it for him.
Please help before he sticks 2 wires in a socket with matches and gaffer tapes the rest of the cable to a handy telephone wire!
Cheers.
