Current setup: there is 4mm Double Insulated armoured cable running from the kitchen to shed's location. In the kitchen this cable is connected to ait's own "cooker" isolator switch, which is then connected to the cooker ring main. This is on a 40A MCB in a dual RCD consumer unit. Unfortunately, I cannot change this current setup.
Inside the shed I want to wire up some sockets. Was thinking 2x Dual Sockets, 1x Single Socket, 1x Dual Outdoor Socket, and 3x fused spur connections for LED lighting/garden lighting.
Ideally, I want to have the shed on its own RCD so if needing to isolate, I can isolate the shed from inside the shed, and if something trips it will not trip the rest of the house. I have been exploring fitting the shed with a mini 2-way or 4-way consumer unit and fitting a singular RCBO for the entire shed. A more viable alternative I just came across was an 13A RCD & Fused spur, BG part MC554RCD. Would this be suitable to run the below equipment?
Things that will be powered in the shed are an electric FlyMo lawnmower (1300w), slow battery chargers for power tools, and potentially some miscellaneous power tools (500-1500w). None of the high wattage items will be ran at the same time as each other. In terms of lighting, it will all be LED lighting (e.g. interior battern light, outdoor string lights), and potentially a water feature and garden lighting in the future.
Help is appreciated,
Thanks.

- TL;DR
- Would a 13A RCD spur socket be sufficient to supply and protect shed's power
