We bought a house with a shed with power. The original setup had two RCD breakers inside the house, and then cables going out to the shed. Then inside the shed there was a rats nest junction box with everything connected up with choc block. One RCD was connected to the shed power (which was to a socket and a light), and also to the pond waterfall pump which was switched via a switch inside the shed. The other RCD was connected to some outdoor lights.
We since have installed a new shed, and completely removed the outdoor lights from the garden. I want to rewire the new shed so that one RCD line connects to the shed power, and the other connects to the pond waterfall pump. I also want to install a proper enclosure in the shed with some form of breakers...but what?
The bare minimum I think is to put a couple of double pole isolators to cover the two RCD circuits, just so I can work on shed and pond pump without worrying about someone playing with the RCDs inside the house. Is it worth adding some MCBs into the mix to separate the shed power socket and shed lights?
