Hi, If I have a split load C/U feeding another C/U in the garage (on the RCD side) do I need a RCD in the garage C/U? 2 circuits will be to power a socket in the greenhouse and pond pump, other 2 circuits will be lighting in garage and a radial socket circuit. So will the socket in the...

Ahh good spotting!! yes theres a wylex wirable fuse for the shower, think it was 40 amp, if memory serves correct. I thought common practise was if you run out of room in the current consumer, to feed a new consumer from a existing breaker/fuse carrier (with a suitable breaker/fuse) moving...

Thanks RF, thats better on the pocket! need a 100A one though, will be suppling whole installation when gen not in use. Background being my mate is on a TT supply in a fairly rural area, prob once a month he has a power cut for a few hours or days at a time. So wants to be able to run at...
