Project/ElectricalWorks/MainRoomRefit

Introduction

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 kitched 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

The existing sockets are connected to a 32A ring main, wired back to the Main Board.

The extractor fan is connected via a switch-fused connection unit, which then feeds a separate speed controller and out to the fan itself.

A 20A circuit from DB2 connects to an isolator for the heat pump.

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.
