Hi All,
I want to install electrics in my shed. Its about 20m away from the house.
I currently have a single outdoor socket, which i wanted to add an RCD Spur and run 2.5mm swa to the shed and install a small garage unit for the socket and the light. Obviously only allowing up to 13Amp from the fcu.
When looking at the socket out doors, it only had one 2.5mm cable going into it. I then traced this back, and it comes off another double socket in the kitchen which is an unfused spur coming off the back of a socket part of the final ring. Therefore i have two sockets (one inside and one outside) that are a radial circuit of the back of a double socket in the ring main. When looking in the regs, this doesnt comply, which really irritates me as i had a full house rewire a year ago.
What suggestions do people have. Is it accetable adding a RCD Spur off the out door socket and not wooring about it? Should I make it a fused connection spur off the rin main, and then can i have another spur off that?
Any ideas would be most welcomed!!
