Good morning everyone.
I am looking to install a consumer unit into my shed and then run another supply up to my summer house.
My shed is approximately 5m from the house and the summer housde a further 15m.
From my CU in my house I have a 6mm running from a 32A MCB to an outside box from where I have a 2.5mm SWA running to the shed. Ideally I would like to terminate the SWA into a CU and have 3 sockets (for lawn mower, tools etc) and a lighting circuit in the shed, as well as a couple of spare ways for future (pump, filter etc) and also have another 2.5mm SWA running from here to the summer house to another CU which in turn will have 4 sockets and a lighting circuit from it. The CU in the summer house will I think only need a 6A and 16A MCB's
Question is the RCBO inside the CU in the shed would it have to be 32A or less as am I correct in saying if its higher than 32A it wouldnt do anything as the house CU is 32A?
