Installing an outdoor socket

[Jelj360]

Hello everybody,

Can anybody tell me if I need another RCD to protect a single outdoor socket in my garden?
I already have a 30mA RCD main switch at the C.U so would this be sufficient?
Also, would it be ok to spur straight from a socket on the ring circuit-using 2.5mm SWA to the socket, about 5 metres away or should I run it from a fused spur?
Any advice would be much appreciated!
