[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 394076, member: 6969"] You say the garage is fed from the rcd side of the house CU. I would say that's wrong, as the garage CU has it's own rcd. Normally in this situation you would take a feed from a non RCD protected MCB in the house so you don't have nuisance tripping in the house if you plug in a dodgy lawn mower for instance in the garage. i suspect they have fitted a dual rcd CU in the house so can't do that. they should have fitted a high integrity cu. I would mention this to them and see what they say. [/QUOTE]
