Hello
I am installing power in my garage/Workshop mainly workshop
i am considering fitting a small consumer unit (apparently made for a garage)IP55 VCGKIT comprising 40A 30mA RCD and 1 x 6A, 1 x 16A Type B MCB RCD providing earth leakage protection. MCBs provide individual circuit protection. BS EN 60439-3.(Screwfix)
Having 6 double sockets
Do i need to up the 16a to a 32a (and can i in this box?) for a ring main? what cable do i need from main consumer box to the garage distance between 30 foot to 40 foot. whats the mcb amp have to be on the main unit Got a lot of cable and fittings from a builder friend just need a unit so i can work out if possible to do it myself or hire someone
My main unit in the house is rcd protected
