Hi, recently upgraded a garage roughly 35m from the house, have wired it with 2.5mm twin core and earth throughout and have got two circuits, a lighting circuit and a ring main, ring main, the two circuits are fed from a 32 amp MCB and a 16amp MCB which is in a small consumer unit inside the shed, I am planning on connecting a 6mm SWA Cable from the a 40amp MCB in the consumer unit in the house, outside, underground and into the consumer unit in the shed, a colleague who I would say considers himself smarter than he is, has said to me that I have done it wrong because I have to fit an RCD, my setup is not perfect but as far as I know have I done it correctly as far as....informing the owners of the house but that is my problem....I have absoloutly no experience in wiring up installations other than college work, How do I wire up an RCD, does it go after the circuit breaker, so id have the 40 amp mcb, then an rcd and then the cable leaving the house to go outside? also, there are RCD's in the consumer unit in the house, if they are there do I need to add an additional RCD? your support will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers -- CC

You have made sure that a qualified electrician has tested and certified this install? And the customer has the relevant paperwork? Daz.

Ha ha. I guess that's a rhetorical question.

I've not been on this forum for a little while and threads like this make me realise why. I am amazed that some of you guys are humouring this nutcase who obviously does not have the first idea what he is doing, and has now more or less told you all to s^d off as he now has the cash in his back pocket from some poor customer who thinks he has hired an electrician and he is away into the sunset with not a care in the world. Words would fail me, but I would like to think he is actually just having a laugh..........
