Horse stables Discussion ThreadHorse stables Electrical Advice
We're having a horse stable built consisting of a tack room and 2 stables. We need a light in each of the 3 rooms, 2 PIR flood lights 50w led and 2 power sockets - 1 in the tack room and one outside. All installations will be sufficiently IP rated. Wiring will be through metal conduit where required and switches on the outside of the 2 stables.
Planning on running armoured cable from house CU to CU in stable. Cable length is about 40m of which about 2m is underground.
1) can I run from an MCB on the house CU and if so what size MCB?
2) what size armoured cable should I use?
3) CU in stable is 63a/30mA RCD & 1 x 16amp & 1 6amp MCB's. Is this adequate?
4) what is the best earth arrangement? Concrete base will have steel grid.
Any advice much appreciated, thanks.
