Hi - just a few quick questions - in running electrics to new shed I plan to use 2.5mm cable from RCD side of split load consumer unit and a 32amp MCB to a waterproof junction box on house wall. From this I will run SWA cable to shed and place small consumer unit in shed for power and lighting. My questions are these:
1) Is it sufficient to run from RCD side of slplit load consumer unit or do I need to put in a separate RCD for this run?
2) If I need an RCD for the actual run itself, I assume this should be before the run goes outside the house where it could potential get w et, rathe than in the shed itself?
3) When connecting the SWA, should the armnour be connected to the earth as well as the earth cable inside?
Many thanks, Russ
