[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 527092, member: 6969"] What do the switches feed? I assume the 0.2A and 3A are the current ratings of the loads they turn on? The fundamental thing missing in your drawing is circuit protection. What is the shed powered from? What is the rating of that supply? Then you need appropriate over current protection for the sockets and the other switched loads, and that won't normally be the same? What are these switched loads? Is single pole switching appropriate or would double pole be better? And RCD protection. And the earthing may not be as simple as you think either. Seriously it would just be better for the electrician to design it all properly. [/QUOTE]
