External RCD/sockets
Former Community Member
From a house ring main can an external rcd socket be used as a fused spur to a small consumer unit in a garage less than 10m away using 2.5 buried protected cable? (2 LED strip lights and 4 double sockets in the garage)
RCD sockets and RCD fused connection units to BS 7288 are not currently recognized by BS 7671 for isolation or additional protection without upstream RCD protection and isolation.

Why don't you do a proper job and run a steel wire armour cable or steel conduit to your garage supplied from a separate way on your consumer unit?
