Cheers someone has got to
Must've missed this video. Superb mate. Really enjoying your content
Thanks mate appreciate it a lot
Thanks Guys I’m I the process of running electric into a New Shed 👍
Your welcome sir, we have just released another video step by step
Question.... Now the cables are clipped to the wall studs....and you fix your pattress battens between them and then mount your back boxes on them......doesn't that make all your cable out of zone? especially if the client has it boarded out internally as you mentioned he might do...which will make your cables not comply with BS7671 and the building regs and you have been notified of this prior to starting the electical work????
You could well be right there, depends what they do really, if the building gets battened out to fit the insulation it would need then they would be deeper than 50mm in the wall so it wouldn’t matter anyway, we would have to go back and change the patresses to knock outs anyway before they did anything so I suppose we could change it, out of 55 thousand people to watch the video tho your the only one to say this 👏 fair play
Would the 13 amp fuse limit what stuff you could use in the shed, also did you have to use a 3 amp spur for the lights, trying to find out if I can save some money and not have another consumer unit in my garden Room and run armoured cable all the way to the front of the house and just spur off like you guys did here, any advice would be much appreciated 👍
It would limit what you can use but this one would just be used for charging and other bits like that, to be plugging heaters and things in we would have needed a bigger supply back to the board and a fuseboard in garden room
Yeah fuse the lights down
For most sheds it people won’t draw more than a couple of amps a larger supply is only really necessary when welders/large tools are being used in the shed. It all depends on what you plan to use now and in the future.
Came for the tutorial, subscribed for the banta! 👌
Legend thanks dude
I want to setup a consumer unit in my shed for running mig welder,small air comp, led light panels and wall sockets for small appliances soldering iron etc what cable should I get ( uk ) ?
You would have to add up all the loading (wattage) then add a bit more and divide by 230(voltage) this will give you ure max loading and u can spec the cable needed from there
@JRC Can you please let me know how to work out what armoured cable size is needed?
The loading of the circuit needs to be worked out and from there can be calculated (power in watts / voltage) that’s the amps needed for the circuit, calculate cable from there
i’ve done meself a mischief if we’re thinking of the same video when he goes fishing thanks for bringing back that memory need to bleach my eyes again
Hahahahahahaa 😂😂😂😂😂 the Aussie?
How do you go about this if you have a shed/cabin requiring more power? 10-15 double sockets and lighting (2-3 rings) all To one breaker internal to a shed. Where will this breaker get its electrical feed from? Breaker in the house?
Would either need a seperate 32/40 amp feed from fuseboard or a sub main going down into the shed/cabin
Great video. Looking to do something similar. What's the best way to work out if you'd need a consumer unit or not? I'm looking to turn my small 8x8ft summer house into a studio. Probably two twin sockets either side: one for a desk setup (MacBook/screen/small speakers etc) and another for maybe a TV and Xbox. I have an outdoor socket already coming from an indoor socket. Could I run off that (around 10ft away) or would it be too much daisy-chaining?
If your using it for just that it would be fine run off an outdoor spur next to the double socket i would imagine as long as socket is wired correctly, maybe wire the socket and spur as part of the ring if possible
Great vid, do you think it would be ok to run a cable from a spare 45amp mcb to a two slot board for lights and sockets to my workshop for power tools.
Yeah aslong as you supply the right cable to meet the mcb you would be fine
So if the mrs is in the kitchen with the microwave and kettle, extraction fan and the tv on the wall and then I plug in my 110v 3kva transformer to run my makita chopsaw and blue tooth 110 makita extraction hoover and a small fan heater with my batteries for my drills on charge and the lights on and 240v stereo,, are you sure that it wont trip out , cuz I don't want to be walking back and forth into the house to keep flicking up the breaker and then having to keep resetting the time on the microwave and cooker. Or is it better to come from the consumer board on its own 20a circuit. What you think..
If your using a lot of power then yeah defo come from the board, if it’s just to charge tools and things then it’s fine, any time heater is mentioned it’s a larger draw so would be better on its own circuit
wanted to see the run along the outside wall. Also the depth of the wire in the garden. Thanks for the vid tho....
Cable was just cleated to the wall if I remember correctly, cable wasn’t burried very deep as it wasn’t at risk where it was
Top class laugh lads, and great work.
Thank you sir much appreciated
during lockdown i started living in my friends mancave,its wired up with 2 socket extension fed in from the out house electrics,i would love to put a pay as you go meter to see how much electric i use.
You could get a ct clamp meter that just goes around the cable or probably get a plug in meter that reads through the 3 pin plug to see what your using
how to break out 13amp supply to shed? is it as easy as running twin n earth off of an existing plug socket in the house? or do i need to enter the house fuse box and run from there? intention is to have full power available. welders, power tools, microwave oven, kettle, heater etc.
Thank for any advice
You would need a bigger supply for that straight from the fuseboard, 32 or 40amp at least
hiya. @@JRCElectrical - Your reply is much appreciated. Thank ya. theres no point in doing work twice, get it right first time to meet the need. I'll pay your time and advice forward, so an electrical contractor somewhere has just landed a job. Thanks again. and thanks for the banter and vids too!
@@Palmit_ no worrries sir thabkyou 👊
Love your videos mate. Great sense of humour. Where else do you find that on UA-cam hey!
Would there be any value in a she consumer unit in this scenario? I have an outdoor socket on a 16amp breaker and was planning to spur from there with 2.5mm SWA running down the garden to the shed. It’s around 15 metres. Would appreciate your thoughts on this pal.
Cheers dude, if you’re just running a 2.5 down there I wouldn’t install a fuseboard in there, 10mm or 6mm I would install one tho
Depends what power you need down there really but just for basic socket for charging batteries or something and lighting it will be fine from 2.5mm
Was it a bout powering a shed or was it about you pissing about.
Bit of both 💪
What has he insulated his shed with? It looks very neat
He hasn’t that’s just breathable membrane, the insulation goes in after that
Hi there what cable did you use and size thanks
I can’t 100% remember but if your coming off a spur, depending on length 2.5mm 3 Core will do
So that house owner now has a non compliant power source to their shed.
Not buried at all, 600mm depth is the advice where it likely to be disturbed (it's in a flower bed). Yes it is notifiable for those that asked. No sign of warning tape with is typically about 150mm above the cable but that cable isn't even 150mm deep to start.
Under paths patios etc are not likely to be disturbed so far less depth is required.
Do not copy that example, or you could end up in trouble.
What’s the reg number for this?
And earth rod?
Hi jack getting to nearly have watched all your videos brother short and sweet to the point carry on making your videos as they are top quality love to all,,,,,,,woodyx
❤️ Thankyou sir you legend
I am after this type of job. I'm in Birmingham to (rubery) . I want power to a shed as I want a 3d printing workshop to work in.
What’s the wire stripper you’re using?
My latest video has links to most the hand tools i use 👍👍
You lads are just a riot. How do you ever get anything done?
Off camera it’s all serious heads down 😂😂
Nah it’s defo not 😂 we do graft aswell as having a laugh tho
Nice shed, just needs a fridge,TV and a PC job done😅🔝
I would imagine most of that will move in soon 👀 😂
Nice job 👍
Thank you sir
Noice Job lads 👍
Thanks Stephen appreciate your support 🙏
What did you bring the SWA into for the Shed? Did you gland into something. Cheers.
We normally gland them into a wiska box and then bring the inner core through into whatever we’re terminating to
Hi guys, was this a minor works, or EIC??
I'm not part p registered yet, but could say altered so minor, could say new circuit so EIC. Just interested 😜
I wouldn’t say it’s a new circuit because it was fed from ring 👀
😂just watched again, thanks for the clarification. Great work💪👏👍
great video lad
Cheers j dog and welcome back
How much does a job like that cost? I’m needing similar in my workshop.
Varies on a lot of different things such as power needed, length of run and where the feed can be taken from
I wouldn't dream of running anything other than 10mm, youve already said the shed use will evolve. Why fit underrated cable now, then have to re run thicker cable in future? Also are you ducting the cable to give it airspace or buried direct into the soil. And what about a consumer unit in the shed? Are you really spurring off an outside socket which is spured off a house circuit? How about metal clad sockets in the shed at the bare minimum? Where does this installation meet any regs? What the disconnection time?
We normally install a bigger cable and fuseboard in outbuildings as you will see on our channel if that’s specified and wanted in there, sometimes it’s not and the customer just wants sockets and or lights, so that’s what we quote for
what would something like this cost in manchester?
No idea mate, try cablesmith electrical or south Manchester electrical I’m sure they will sort you out 👍
Thought cables had to be buried 600mm deep per regs?
My understanding is that it has to burried at a depth where it’s not going to be damaged by a shovel, we have ran this around the perimeter of the garden not through the middle so won’t be damaged by a shovel and under the slab it’s under a concrete slab so won’t be damaged, if the slab ever gets lifted you can see the cable is there
I could be wrong tho 😂
@@JRCElectrical your understanding is wrong, check the regs.
Let’s be honest here it’s no different to clipping it to the fence at the back of the flowerbed and that is compliant. It’s an armoured cable, made of correctly on both sides bonded to earth and it’s on an rcd so if you went though the cable it will trip instantly. It’s safer than the spike lighting that you see installed in flowerbeds with flex underground.
didn't show any wiring up at all .... dissapointing !
thanks but I didnt come here for hearts, I came to learn.
If you don’t know how to wire something like this up you shouldn’t try to install something like this. Please get a qualified electrician to come and do this job for you as they will do a safe job.
@@adamdavis2788 cheers for your input
Not a video to learn from really. Try running cables in conduit from a fuse spur. Plenty of them vids about. I was looking for reinforcement on my wiring to the shed, didn't get it from here.
might aswell hand you his pay slips then hadn’t he, plus if you don’t have the experience to do a wiring job like this then DONT TRY hire a professional
Very niiiiiice Jack 👍🏽
Cheers dude
hey guys, so im about to have 16x1 shed fitted in garden, i have armored cable, internet cables,camera cables etc etc. what can u sue to run these under the flags, was thinking like a plastic guttering ? i've also a homemade solar system to install .. I'm no builder, or tradesman. But I'd like to do job myself. Got them switch covers, , them orange lightning protection. But before i do the insides, thinking running rubber 2 inch 3 inch pipe with sprinklers on them. Use a rain catchment system, with like CO2 boost like a soda stream. Where does the law stand with electric fences for private use?. but instead of it going around a field, i wire it in between the inner and owta wall. Nothing daft, also thought of doing the floor like a bug zapper, but use one of them timer mi thingy mi bobs, where it knows somebody is there, but i want a 15 second window before arming, So every footstep back would zap the thieves all the way back out of the property lol.
That all sounds fantastic 😂😂😂😂😂😂
How much would it cost roughly to have this job done?
There is a lot to take into account when working out a price for this, cable run, length, how much power is needed, where it’s coming from
a sparky picking his mess up didn’t think i’d ever see the day
I would say always but it would be a lie 😂😂😂
I thought you'd of had a picture of boy band bundy in the van 🤩🤩🤩😂😂😂
He’s on the mantle piece at home 😂😂
@@JRCElectrical best place for him and adam🤣🤣🤣 couple of gargoyles to keep the kids away from the woodburner
@@paul_my_plumbs_uk 😂😂😂😂😂
How do you get the power from.
Off the kitchen sockets circuit
@JRCElectrical , hope that the whole house will still have the power. Lol
Legend
🤙🤙🤙
Nice job lads 👍🏻
Cheers dude appreciate it
Jack ever thought of using the PVC back boxes and glanding in to them also less chance of damage for you and them long term just a thought don't unsubscribe me 😂
There’s lots that could be done differently but to keep the cost down for them that was best 🤷♂️ 😂😂😂
Conduit would have been the one but the customer wasn’t sure if there boarding it or anything so didn’t see the point wasting money on it 😂
Last power we ran into a garage was in 95mm 5core SWA 😂😂😂
You will struggle to get that into a spur
@JRCElectrical haha. This is true. But u can always trim the core to fit the terminal I guess 🤔
@@peterigrenyi9176 tis true a 92mm haircut would be fine wouldn’t it 😂😂
Golden rule,if your not used to using a shovel it's advisable to piss in the palms of the hands first.FACT ask any paddy 😂
😂😂😂
Poor Scotty got bigged up by that pigeon 🤢🤢. Looked like that shed had been lined inside, nice bit of quality.
Fully bigged up in his mouth 😂😂
Yeah the shed was sick to be fair floor was mega thick aswell
Is this work notifiable?
I would imagine so as your providing power to an outbuilding
@@JRCElectrical Ok so just to clarify...if I put an outdoor socket on the outside of a shed it isn't notifiable as per Part P, but if I put an outdoor socket on the inside of a shed, it is notifiable?
@@1984rbarker I no they changed it for if your not adding a new circuit but u would be best checking with your governing body 👍
I did some research and this work isn't notifiable if you are just extending a circuit.
big uppppps😂😂
😎 big up
If tge owner wants a second wood chipper iv got one for sale😂
What do you mean?
@@JRCElectrical I noticed he has a wood chipper like mine while you were doing the measurements inside
@@pmacc3557 o hahahaha I thort you meant because I was drilling the wood or something 😂😂😂
@@JRCElectrical great videos. Can't imagine the time it takes to work but keep in mind you have to record edit sound etc..👍👍

First! Big up JRC!
Big up you dragon 🐉
Get bundy to do it 😂😂👍🏻 and don’t pay him 😂😂

I would have but this video is from 2 years ago 😂
Yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Yo yo yo 😎
Barely a DIY standard job! Spurred off a socket on the ring?? Plastic surface mount pattresses in a shed??? Cable barely buried and no warning tape??? Embarrassing.
Agree. Thought it was me. Could have used Metal Clad Wiring Accessories What about TT rod for equipotential zone?
@@activateelectrical1720 TT why? No reason to, it's a wooden shed with no extraneous parts.
You both sound like you have never worked a day in real life metal clad would be great to install but I’m sure the client had a budget, same for the fact it is spur of the ring not on its own circuit. Running the cable back to fuse board is preferred but not necessary so he hasn’t done anything wrong here in fact
@@adamdavis2788yup, the fused spur keeps everything from melting, 2.5mm will easily take over 13 amps though so that's not the main worry.
The only issue I see with coming off a fused spur is trip times, if the cable run is long then it could do with an earth spike.
But if this is a budget install that's not gonna happen.😅
Learned nothing, thanks
Your welcome
What a load of crap
O
How much cost a putting electricity in this shed?
Depends on a lot of different things
