Haha I've survived several electrocutions over the years, I'll be fine, don't worry.

I'll post the solution later, got to go.

That statement was an error regarding the use of an RCD in the garage and part of that statement was implying the question of what size circuit breaker is required for the feed to the garage (to protect the cable, but I shouldn't have to explain that really just to show how much knowledge I have...

Disregard this thread I know what to do now, all I had to do was ask a qualified electrician and he told me what I needed to know, he explained everything with minimum effort.

I understand what you are saying, put a CCU without an RCD in the garage. Just incase you think I don't understand that part

I did mention a 50A MCB protecting the CCU in the garage for the 2x32A + 1x6A circuits but if this isn't adequate I would like to know wether I can do something from the CCU or do I have to come from the tails.

As above. The welding circuit will be protected by a 32A MCB (possibly a C type if that's what is recommended for a welder) The RCD question is seperate to the welding circuit question.

Yeah thanks I did get your point.

Ok thanks for clarifying that I will need a 32A MCB and a 32A switched Commando socket. Any more suggestions for the supply to the CCU in the garage? I'll try and do a wiring diagram for it all when I'm off shift.

I don't know what kind of circuit breaker to get to protect the CCU in the garage. Maybe I should put a 45A RCD in the garage CCU and protect it with a 50A MCB in the other CCU that feeds it. I just mentioned what type of CCU I have so that someone might give me suggestions. The other option...

The welder is a 180 ac/dc inverter. It's spec is as follows. Single phase 230v Input frequency 50/60Hz Fuse rating 16 A Slow Blow Open circuit voltage 50 - 60 V Max primary current 29.5 A Max power consumption 6.8 kVA Main supply protection 25 A Power factor (Cos) 0.98 The circuit I want to...
