Introduction[edit]
A project to cover the electrical works in the Main Room refit.
Clear the west wall, install a plywood skin, then install four work stations with power and data.
Objectives :
- Replace the existing West Wall mounted sockets with sockets in dado trunking on the new wall.
- Move the circuit feed onto the kitchen distribution board
- Maintain power for the heat pump
- Integrate power and controls for the extractor fan
- Provide capacity for the 3d-printer stand at a future date
- Install new data wiring
Current State[edit]
The existing sockets are connected to a 32A ring main, wired back to the Main Board. This includes the metal-clad sockets on the wall itself as well as the floorbox.
The extractor fan is connected via a switch-fused connection unit, which then feeds a separate speed controller and out to the fan itself. Verified that this is fused at 5A, and the fan is fed by a 5 core 0.75mm flex from the controller.
A 20A circuit from DB2A connects to an isolator for the heat pump.
Planned Work[edit]
- Test the circuit is not feeding the Server Rack in the cupboard.
- Identify cable route from ceiling into back of new plywood wall
- Arrange temporary power for the Design PC's and 3d printers. Need 8 sockets. 2 x 4-gang leads from Electronics benches ?
- Disconnect the existing sockets and data cabling, and remove back to the Main Board.
- Disconnect and remove the extractor fan wiring. Install extra cable to the fan to allow for fitting behind the plywood wall and into the dado trunking
- Pull through new 4mm T&E cable between the Kitchen Board and the Main Room for the new ring circuit.
- Pull through 8 x data cables for new network sockets in dado trunking.
- Install new dado trunking, and fit sockets and data points.
- Install fused spur boxes ready for 3D printer stand and member's display PC.
- Install fused spur for the projector.

Progress[edit]
- First fix materials bought or confirmed already on site.
- Examined the extractor fan control unit to determine the cabling out to the fan itself.
- Installed 2 x surface pattress boxes in kitchen ceiling for the 3D printer spur and the kitchen display spur.
- Examined the boxwork around the roof beam against the west wall.
- Confirmed this is plasterboard and has enough room for a cable access route.
- Will require fire-retardant foam to seal the cable access holes after fitting is complete.
- Design PC's network re-connected via temporary cable to North Wall trunking.
- 3 x 4-way extension leads prepared for temporary power to the PC's during the works.
- Single trailing socket prepared for the ceiling-mounted projector.
- Heat pump - first quote advises we will need an external isolator for a 6kW load.
- This translates to a 32A radial circuit with a 4-pole IP67 isolator.
- Cable run will be ~15m inside the building, plus ???m of SWA through the wall and outside to the isolator.
- Inside run will require either 6mm 70C cable or 4mm 90C cable for current rating.
- Isolator needs to be fitted at a suitable height to deter 'casual tampering'
