Hello dear electricians,
I want to lay 2 underground cables with RCD switches / fuses into the garden, one for sockets (3x2.5 square) and one for lighting (3x1.5 square). The garden starts after about 15m of cable laying, so the cable length is already correct, I have checked that.
The question now is how I should lay the cable:
a) Can both cables be laid next to each other according to DIN standard (2 trenches deep, sand, tape, etc.) or do 2 power cables cause interference signals?
b) For the cable for the lighting, there should be 3 lamps connected, but the cable only has one end, how do I connect the lamps which are each 3m apart? Do I need to use something like an outdoor junction box at the cable end?
c) Do I have to earth the cables more fundamentally or otherwise?
d) How can I make it so that I can activate the outdoor lighting from the living room without having to go to the fuse box and switch the fuse on and off?
Thank you in advance for your effort.
