Hi.
I know this is a DIY forum but the more experienced sparks than me may be able to help.
I have been asked to quote, on monday morning, for a supply to a shed/building at the rear of a garden. This is all fine and usual and dandy.
The question I have, because i like to be aware of all circumstances, and it might be something i would like to put to the client.
If the supply circuit is not rcd protected and i install a small cu with rcd additional protection for lighting and sockets and there is a power failure or a power failure within the shed/building because a fault to earth or short between Land N, I would personally want an indication at the household end.
My first thought is to have a non maintained emergency light in the shed/building and with using 5 core swa, i could use the 2 spare cores to link back from the emergency light to a light or sounder of some sort in the dwelling.
I pressume that an emergency light in the shed/building, supplying the household indication would require a dc light/sounder at the household end.
Any suggestions or equipment recommendations would be welcome
