Am I right?

Yes, you can have as many sockets as you like on a fused spur.


Great.

It is RCD protected somehow is it? You should at least provide RCD
protection for the sockets where you plug in power tools.


That's for earth faults isn't it. We have a Flymo powerbreaker for the
lawnmower, but the rest of the circuit isn't protected.

I take it it would be wise protecting it with an RCD in the shed as the
power comes in?

Well, maybe, but you say you have freezers on the circuit and you
don't want them left off while you're away if the RCD happens to trip.
