Example one
Picture a man with an electric lawn mower 20 ft from edge of house in garden with a plug in rcd on a pme installation.(20 ft extension lead)
Example two
Now picture the man in the shed with electric drill(again pme,20ft from house)
The sub main to the shed is protected by an RCD.
Does the shed's consumer unit require an earth stake???
If it does, please explain why the end of the 20ft extension lead requires no earth stake but the shed does?
The second part of the shed question.
If the shed has no extrouneous metal work inside, Does the shed require an earth stake?
