Now, if you are looking for 15A power to run your tablesaw, jointer and dusty, simply convince SWMBO that she doesn't need the oven anymore, whack a 15A GPO on the oven wiring and run a dirty big 15A extension cord down to the shed. :eek:

And if the shed is to far away the voltage loss in the extension lead will cook your table saw.

Are you suggesting that I move the tablesaw into the kitchen?

I suppose that is an option if you are allowed.

Did you get an explanation as to why the sparks would not stop when the oven switch was turned off?

Not necessarily, the dining room should be close enough and available, especially if you've disconected the oven!

It is my understanding that 15 amp circuits should only carry one outlet, according to the SAA wiring rules.
Perhaps a sparky could weigh in on this one?

The Septics are Atrocious for switching the Neutral.

Switching the Neutral would not open the "NEW" circuit. Current would continue to flow.
Smoke would continue to get out
An RCD unit 'should' have tripped though?????

I did, but I ahve to confess to not understanding a word of what the guy said. :eek:

The fact that I don't hvae an RCD could explain it.
