[watoo watoo]

Hi have a situation have wylex 4 module metal clad consumer , RCD, 32mcb and 6 MCB, trouble is main consumer no where near the back of house and all fancy flooring, there is a shower supply 6mm upstairs on a 32 mcb in the consumer , its an old GE series consumer unit and the shower on the 32 is not RCD protected, only the ring is, which they will not be needing anymore, was thinking of connecting this to the swa 6mm in a box then run swa out to shed 70 ft run , any ideas here thanks

I've been doing some research , i have the existing 6mm for shower on the GE series 32A mcb which is upstairs (3 bed terrace) for shower but were not using shower we have a mixer now wall type fitted, i could get an adaptable box and connect the 6mm t&E and the 6mmSWA within and run out 25 metres to shed, i have bought a Wylex NHRS206/63 with a 63A RCD main switch and 1 32a wylex nhxb32 mcb and 1 x 6 amp nhxb06 mcb for lights, only question really would be the Earthing situation and 2 core or 3 core swa
