Garage electrics

[wiffers2003]

Hi, i found out last night that the output from one of my trip switches in my CU (a B32 fitted after a 30mA RCD in split load CU) feeds the garage sockets on a ring, and the garage lights are connected to a spur socket from within the ring, the house alarm and kitchen lights (in a rear extension) also connect to this trip as well.

This doesn't sound right to me, any comments ?!?!?!?

Oh yeah, and the boiler is on the same circuit as well !

That's quite feasible, as long as its got its own means of isolation and protected by a 13A fuse. I.e a 13A FCU.
The lights should also have a 3AFCU.

Thanks for your response Luminaire.
The boiler is on a fused switch, and the alarm is on another fused switch.
The lights connect directly to the socket (spur) from the ring main.

Put the lights on an FCU with a 5A fuse.

That's great, sounds like a simple solution which is always the best way !!!

Many thanks.
