Hi
My partners ex had a shed/workshop that looks like it has been professionally wired.
The feed comes in and then to four double sockets in series.
Between the first and second double socket there is a spur that comes off and feeds a light switch and then a fused switch.
The shed runs a small chest freezer,odd power tool and mower when required
My partner bought a water feature and her father installed an outside single socket with built in mechanical timer - the water feature is plugged into this.
To the socket he has wired a 13amp plug and this is plugged into a double 13amp RCD front plate/box which he fitted by replacing the fused switch.
Everything was running okay for a few days and the water feature was on/off as timed.
Now when the off is activated the shed RCD trips and so does the MCB.
Can anyone help please and is it the RCD that is tripping the mains power and could this just be simply replaced by a double socket.Does the shed require the fused switch being reinstalled or another added.
Thank you for your help
