Hey guys just a quickie....

Undecided on what size breaker to use to feed SWA to garage (CCC 28A). Garage only has a light on a 6A MCB and a Radial on a 16A MCB, both protected by 63A / 30mA RCD mainswitch (the usual set up :D). More than likely that a F/Freezer is the only thing that will ever be plugged into the radial but there is a chance that a mower may also be used.

Cant decide between 16A or 20A for the breaker on the house board...any suggestions?

I'd go for the 20 A to allow discrimination with the Radial 16A, but it all depends how it's installed:)
