What is the correct way to install an outside rcd socket ?
1). Connect to ring main, but when test button is pressed it takes out whole of the house because both main and socket are 30ma rated.
2) Replace main RCD in consumer unit with a higher rated tripping current.
3) Use an ordinary outside weather proofed socket.
4). Avoid pressing the test button altogether ( but someone else might when
we're not there) away on holiday for example) and come home to all the
problems of de-frosted freezers etc.
Ps. If (3) is an option where do you purchase as most Rcds are 30ma rated
