should you install a earth rod if running a feed to a shed which is built on timber frame and is all timber , no metal parts and will have no services ie gas or water in it so no need for bonding only a supply for a light and a couple of sockets or can you use a pme earth from fuseboard if the shed supply is run in 6mm armoured from the outside of the house ( inside house 6mm t+e to fuseboard ) protected by 32amp rcbo will be installing a 2 way board with rcd main switch in shed approx 25 meters away
 
What’s the earthing arrangement at source?

Have you spoken to your CPS tech helpline?
 
The earthing arrangement is pme , in process of joining cps scheme tried ringing for advice and they said they can’t give me any advice as not member yet

What scheme is that? Whenever I rung Elecsa tech helpline, they never asked me anything to verify membership.
 
As Mudroch and Des mentioned don't install two30ma Rcds in line with each other and why use T&E how are you running it outside ?, I Would use Swa and so there will be no nead for a rcd at the supply end
 
Hi Tim- The means of earthing at the installation origin can be used at outbuildings, but it does have to be designed. IET Guide Note 8 has some useful "how to" examples.
