Post by Clowy »

Hello, I was looking for some advice if someone can help. I have no sockets In the garage and wanted to fit some just a double. What's the best way to go about it. there's only 2 mcb on the fuse box out there could I still have a socket.

Thanks.

The welcome part of the forum is not the place to ask questions. You should ask in the electrics forum.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

It all rather depends on the size of the supply cable, the length of the cable and the circuit breaker protecting the garage circuit

Pictures are great, I am trying to envisage a fuse box with only two MCB's. The main thing is to ensure any cable is not overloaded.
