[QUOTE="Engagesafetysquint, post: 535243, member: 35736"] Hi all. New to the forum and not really clued up on proper terminology so bear with me. I want to rig up my new shed with 4 double sockets for items such as battery tool charging,bench top grinder , bench top drill press + small lathe. I also want a lighting circuit which will power 3x 1200mm LED strip lights. Problem comes with getting power to the shed. I need to run 15.5 M from the house consumer unit. I have used a online calculator that has told me I will need 4mm SWA. Ok. Now the big question. Can I run the SWA from a spare 32a mcb in the house consumer to a RCD in the shed with a 32a + 6a mcb. I want to run the double sockets of the 32a from the RCD in a ring circuit to give me the possibility of adding sockets in the future if needed. Is this possible, and importantly would a sparky be happy to take on the job as described? Thanks [/QUOTE]
