Hi.
My apologies because i'm having one of those mental block moments.
I have been asked to provide a supply to a shed for a few sockets and lighting. The main consumer unit is a 17th ed split RCD unit so there are no 'non rcd' spares.
I want to use a garage unit with its own RCD and two mcb's to keep the shed ccts seperate but am unsure of the best / easiest way of doing this.
I have thought of taking a feed from the main switch on the house consumer unit into a seperate enclosure with a main isolator. Then run my supply from this to the shed unit.
Does this seem ok? I am going to run swa to the shed but this will not have any rcd protection if i do what i have described above. The only way i can see to do this would be to take my feed from the main switch on the house consumer unit into a separate enclosure with a time delayed rcd as a main switch then off to my shed as before. Is this overkill? Do i need to rcd protect the cable run to the shed?
Any advice on this is very welcome
