Equipment Outside on a Circuit That Was Not Built for It
Properties accumulate outdoor equipment over time. A water pump, an automatic gate, a rainwater system, a spa, a workshop compressor. Each one gets connected to whatever was available when it arrived.
The trouble is that garden circuits were generally sized for occasional use: a lawnmower, a light, a bit of power for the barbecue. Equipment that runs for hours at a time is a different demand entirely.
The result is a circuit permanently near its limit, tripping when two things run together, and no way to isolate one piece of equipment without turning off everything else outside.
- Several pieces of outdoor equipment sharing one circuit
- Tripping when two things happen to run at once
- No way to isolate one piece of equipment on its own
- Equipment connected via a lead, not a fixed supply
- A circuit sized years ago for far less than it now carries
Its Own Circuit, Its Own Isolation
Anything outside that runs for extended periods is better on its own circuit, sized for what it draws and protected properly. That removes the nuisance tripping and stops one piece of equipment taking out everything else.
Isolation is the other half. A switch within reach of the equipment means it can be turned off for servicing without a walk back to the switchboard, which matters more the first time something goes wrong.
Everything above ground is specified for permanent exposure, and anything below ground goes in conduit at a suitable depth so it survives whatever gets done to the garden later.
Tell us what equipment you are connecting, or planning to, and we will size the supply for the finished picture rather than for the first item on the list.

Liam made the whole experience smooth and hassle free. He provided great advice and communicated in a friendly and professional manner. He was accommodating and flexible with my schedule and he left the area clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend him for future jobs.

We were so lucky that some friends recommended Liam. He's friendly, thoughtful, interested in solving problems, in a way that makes him a delight to deal with. We couldn't be happier with the results of his work and unlike other sparkies we've worked with, he turns up on time and even came back on his day off to make sure everything was working as it should. His prices are fair, and his work is of a very high standard. Couldn't be happier. We will definitely be hiring Liam for all future work in our house.

Outdoor Equipment Power Questions
Anything permanently installed outside that draws current for extended periods. Water and rainwater pumps, automatic gates, spa equipment, workshop compressors and irrigation controllers are the ones we see most.
Not always, but anything drawing steadily for long periods generally should. What matters is the total load on the circuit and whether you can isolate one item without killing the rest. We work that out based on what you actually have.
Usually either a shared circuit near its limit, or moisture reaching the motor or a fitting. Both are common with outdoor equipment. Testing the circuit tells us which, and that decides whether it is a supply problem or an equipment problem.
Yes. Tell us the make and model, or send a photo of the specification plate, and we will confirm what supply it needs and whether the existing circuit suits it.
For most positions away from the house, yes, in conduit at a suitable depth. Overhead is possible in some situations. We look at the property and tell you which makes sense for the run involved.
It depends on the distance from the switchboard, whether trenching is needed and what the equipment requires. We measure the run and quote the whole job. Quotes are free.
