I have a new garage and had previously run cable to it ready for it to be connected later. I ran a 6mm T+E cable from the consumer unit (cant get armoured all the way to it) it then terminates in a wiska box on the wall outside and continues in 6mm 3 core armoured. I had planned to have no RCD at the house end and the garage protection at the garage end....
the electrician has now come and said the cable at the house end needs to be RCD protected due to it been T+E
The T+E runs in to the ceiling and is clipped to the joists along its run with fire clips every so often.
Is it a definite no no to not have the RCD? it seems like I would have tripping in the house if a fault happens garage side.
Thanks
