Hi All I’m new to the forum thing so go easy on me ;-)
if I am planning on putting a garage unit into my shed which will have a 32amp for power and 6amp for lighting is that OK to be fed from a 40amp breaker from the main board in the house ?
I didn’t know because of discrimination if I could just put the garage unit on an MCB ( which is in an RCB with one half of the circuits from house ) or if the shed circuit ( distribution circuit) would need to be on a Separate RCB/RCBO.
I know if there is a fault in the shed then the shed RCD would trip but if there was a fault between the shed and the main CU it would trip the house RCD.
If the Shed has to be on an Separate RCD then that would mean using an RCBO and since it just an RCD board I would need to replace the house board to be an RCBO board.
hope that all makes sense. Hope someone can shed some light on this.
