Wiring for the garage and welding

[gm0uzm]

Hi all, hope some one can assist with this. I am looking to install electric in my garage for general power for drills, grinders etc from standard sockets, lights, most probably strip lights, but mainly power for welding. My welder is 230v 13A INPUT, with 25 to 130A OUTPUT. I would plan a consumer unit in the garage to seperate the supplies, but what is needed for the RCD spec, and in the house where the power will come from, there is no spare capacity for more circuit breakers. Should there be a breaker in the house, then the consumer unit in the garage? Lastly what size twin and earth would be the correct size, armoured or not. sorry my list is long, and thanks in advance for the replies.

Do a search here for any of the words garage, shed, workshop, outside, outhouse - it's all been comprehensively covered many times.

On principle I wouldn't buy from someone who says this in his advert:

"ALL SOCKETS EXTERNALLY MUST BE PROTECTED BY THEIR OWN RCD-BY LAW!"

I also noticed they sell Hydroponic equipment so I did a quick search

Now I wonder what that could be used for
