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)
A non-latching socket RCD would not keep the supply on after an outage, not all socket and SFCU RCD units are the same they are also known as passive and active.
If there’s going to be a freezer in the garage having the whole circuit RCD protected at the consumer unit would generally indicate there’s a loss of supply outside as sockets would be off in the house as well.
