I have discovered that the shed MCB is not on the RCD and is not protected. :| Where to go from here?

Oh dear I don't like where this is going! However I wish to learn as much as I can! So it's good and bad. At the present moment I cannot di this as it's dark :lol: and my folks are using quite a lot of electronics at the moment so I will do it tommorow when I get home from work! Thanks for...

Thing is I just thought, the Up and Down lights are on the left side of the CU yet if a bulb goes, they all trip out.

I think there is a slot spare, do I literally just need to switch off the main switch on the CU and I can just swap them?

The brand name on both the CU and the CU's RCB are Marbo

No we recently had our kitched done just before chirstmas so a new ring was needed so we decided to go for the whole deal as the fuses wern't too good! So I need to buy an RCD for the shed. Is it not ok for me to continue what I have been doing, everything I plug into the shed, lawnmower...

I think I know what you are talking about! :lol: There are a lot os shed topics about yes, one of which is mine! :oops:

Indeed I thought it was a little confusing to have twin black, never seen that before. So if I trip the RCD, all the rings protected by the RCD will be disabled? So if the shed remains live then it is not protected, I will test that tommorow, hope it is protected however or it's more work...

The red on the top right is the live feed from the consumer box. The wire however is a twin black and a red. So one black is neutral and the other is earth. Confusing really...

Edit just noticed, looks like 1 blue connected and another not... :?: :?

Sure, as you may or may not be able to clearly see, the blue is connected to the box itself.

The SWA is not buried, it is suspended from the garage roof to the shed roof. Here is our box etc: Whole view Shed switch RCD Now the wire from the shed runs out which is a twin and earth wire into a junction box which swaps the wire to the SWA wire which runs to the shed...

Haha I will find out in the morning if it is not poosible to assess with that info :lol: And I forgot to put is a B16 MCB

It is RCD protected yes. It is not too far away, about 10-20 metres. I am guessing that the blue with the yellows are the earth so the earth core and the earth armoured are together. It that ok? I may have knocked the blues out as I pulled the terminal out. Not too sure how big the wire is...

Hi members, we recently moved a new house which has 2 sheds in the garden, both of which have an electricity supply. Set-up is the feed comes directly from the trip-box to the first shed. In the first shed is a junction box, with 3 wires. The feed, the first shed plug and the feed to the next...

Oh im so sorry. Anyway back on topic if you have purchased a standard quality dimmer then the buzz is a normal side effect.

Well in my home we have dimmers in all 3 bedrooms, living room and dining room and we yet have not had one that does not make some sound when in use. :?

The 3rd part of your question is ok, all dimmers make some sort of buzzing when in use.
