If you have a battery backup and a manual release, what is the problem you are attempting to fix by putting the door on a separate circuit?Thanks. Got both of them.

32 amps seems an awful lot for a garage door.Here you go guys...
I can just take a new cable out of the top of the main switch to a new small CU with a 32A MCB to just power the garage door.

Sorry today must be RCD protected, no option, also must be 30 mA and 40 mS no option, there are RCD's which trip between 50% and 100% (standard) and 90% and 100% (Eaton X-Pole) which also has a warning when getting near to the tripping current. But in the main the way to stop it tripping is to divide into more circuits using RCBO's. So in my house with 14 RCBO's I could have 210 mA to earth where you can only have 30 mA to earth without exceeding the 50%. And if any one RCBO does trip, I only loose that circuit.Ok if you are saying that. Any way of adding a new MCB to my current CU that’s not protected by the RCBs?
