shed supply

Eclipse over 5 years ago

Guys,

Just some advice please!

my son has installed a new 6m/m 3C SWA supply to his new wooden shed,( no extranous parts) its going to be terminated into a 4 way consumer unit (RCD main swt) and used to power & lighting in the shed and some lighting in the garden,

question is:

The source end in the house is a twin RCD board, so using a spare way on either side will give the supply cable RCD protection, but what about the RCD in the shed board? is it advisable to keep both?

Unless the supply is TT, I am sure the local DNO would recommend that the shed has TT earthing, separated from the house.

Hi Alan, do you have any links available relating to info on this recommendation?
