[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 527116, member: 6969"] So with a 32A rated feed I would feed your light circuit from a 10A MCB and your socket circuit from a 16A MCB, not together on the same circuit. If the feed from the house has an RCD then you don't need another in the shed, but I hope this means you are feeding the shed circuit from an rcbo? You don't want a fault in the shed tripping half the house. If you are feeding the shed with SWA cable direct from the house consumer unit you may not need an rcd at the house end in which case fit a consumer unit in the shed with an rcd. [/QUOTE]
