Hello,
I'm no Electrician, but I think I have a understanding of the basics.
Few years ago We had our Garage supplied with power by and "electrician". This was done by my Wife's family friend, and he never finished it in my eyes.
I've attached a diagram of what's going on:
Does there need to be 2 RCD's in series for the Garage? The options I've seen are non-RCD supply from HOUSE to the Garage, and a RCD at Garage. Or RCD just at the House and not one at the Garage.
Should the Earth at the Garage be TT?
32A would indicate a ring circuit for the sockets in the Garage. Is it better to get a 20A to put in a Radial instead?
I Know 16A MCB in Garage for lights is too high, should be 6A I think.
I won't be doing any of the fixes myself if needed, I just want to understand what's been done wrong.
Id really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
