Hi guys new to the forum after bit of advice. My family are installing a new shed in the garden and require a lot of power ie few sockets, lights. I am planning of running a swa fed from 32a mcb from the main board to a sub board.
Have a question-
Shall I install the new 32a mcb in the main board on the RCD side or main switch side?
Thanks
 
So, after coming back from the pub...thinks, 'let’s have a look at emails'...'oh, one from Electriciansforums....mm, this 'swa feeding a shed' might be interesting'...'I’ll have a quick read while my tea is brewing....should be quick and to the point, with some useful info....' Jeez....what an epic...my tea was well-stewed by the end! I’m up for investing in a three-part film franchise of the thread....but who will play Bigbob1?....and will he survive into the sequel? Next week on Electriciansforum......
 
Or you’d be bonding your outside tap........
Shouldn’t need bonding, it’s connected to the water installation which should already be bonded.
Could use plastic pipes so as to divorce it from the installation earthing.
Oh yes, you appear to have misquoted or misunderstood how far equipotential zones extend.
You should have said that equipotential zones may extend as far as 1.5m from the footprint of the building.
 
Bigbob1 can you fill your profile in, as you seem to be spouting all these rules and no regulations at us, and we have no real idea of what you are, understand if you want to remain incognito, but is confusing when answering you numerous rantings, without any real idea of what sort of experience or electrical education you currently hold.
 
You are really getting rude and insulting.
without posting in this manner where does the 1.5m come from?
Sorry to say it has descended into this a few times :( . I still see no reason why one supply can't serve more than one building, which seems to be the go to jail trigger. Section 5.6 in GN8 explains how. And it doesn't need any new permissions from DNO, as it's all beyond their service head.
But I do agree that we should convene a working party to examine your outside light :) .

Given that, it probably makes sense to TT the shed, unless you can be sure it doesn't act as an extraneous-conductive-part. (The SWA won't have...
