I know there have been similar questions posted here before, and they have answered most of my questions. I just want to confirm I have understood the advice correctly and not missed anything.
I am planning on supplying power to my garage to fit 3-4 sockets and 2-3 lights. I am looking at buying a garage consumer unit with 2 mcbs one for lighting and one for the sockets. I have some armored cable to run from the house to the garage. The consumer unit in the house does not have any spare circuits and no rcd, so I am planning to run a spur from an existing socket to the garage where the garage consumer unit will be installed and from there wire the socket and lighting circuits.
I have seen mention on some threads about fitting an rcd to run the spur from ? is this necessary if I am using a garage consumer unit ?
Also should the power and lighting circuits in the garage be wired as a ring
Have I missed anything ?
