[QUOTE="batty, post: 48716, member: 66"] When I do garage/sheds I usually use a volex five way Rcd protected consumer unit. I tend to use 10mm two core swa as this is adequate for most needs. I cut armour back with swa stripper and then put swa through 25mm nylon gland. I then TT building. I find you can get a 25mm large nylon gland straight into a volex consumer unit. It maybe possible with other makes but I have done a lot with volex with no problems. I used to get them from bdc but have had to find a different supply. Screwfix do a 5 way main switch one which you could then change switch for RCD as they do a 80a 30mA RCD. I have also used MK consumer units in the past as these can take a 25mm gland but are a slightly dearer option. Batty [/QUOTE]
