[QUOTE="PaulieN, post: 473359, member: 30819"] Thanks for the replies. Not really worried about it, just curious if it is to regs. Never come across it before. Of course definitely wouldn't comply if on a 32A ring, but as the circuit is a 20A radial it sits OK with regs for protection at least. Shutter may be a good point. I wonder if it's still classed as household use though as it's a seperate garage? Doesn't worry me at all as there's no access to children and, yes it's all covered by a 30mA RCD. Previous owner did have a caravan and the socket is nearest to the door, so probably was used for a hook up thinking about it. The welder does need 16a, it pops 13a fuses when it feels in the mood!
