short shed power question

diy_dude · 30 May 2007

I have installed 15m of 6mm2 SWA cable from my house CU to the shed. In the shed I plan to have a CU with an RCB and 2 x MCB, one for lights (6A) and one for a double socket (16A).

I intend to connect the SWA to the non-RCD side of the CU in the house.

QUESTION: What size MCB should I connect the SWA cable to in the house CU?

Many thanks,
Ben

32A would be fine.

The height of your shed will not affect the power requirement.
