Hi,
I have a flat with a garage. The garage is in a seperate block to the flats. Each garage has a power supply into it which consists of:
1 X metal clad spur with 5A fuse. Thats it!
This powers an electric garage opener. I'm told by the garage owners to add power sockets if i like for low power items (eg trickle charger). If I plan to use high power tools I would trip power for a number of garages..
However, None of this is RCD'd. I was wanting to add a CU (with RCD), which will feed off it one socket and a spur for garage opener.
Issue is the RCD is 63A rated. Can I attach the RCD so long as I keep the metal clad 5A fuse before it? (effectively limiting CU to 5A). I dont mind being limited to 5A as all I would use is a trickle charger or small lamp.
Many Thanks..
