However a seperate circuit from the house is a good dea, just not on a 10mA RCD. Regards Steve |

I don't know what Stephen has in mind, but IME 10mA RCDs are only useful where they are supplying a single appliance, and since you might want to run multiple appliances in your garage, that would be inappropriate. If you want to run a fridge or freezer in there, I would lay on a non-RCD protected supply just for that too. I use a 10mA RCD (RCBO in fact) for my outdoor sockets, and they only get the lawn mower or hedge trimmer used singularly. I used them in another house on each of two separate circuits, boiler in the bathroom, and a fan heater in the bathroom. One significant part of the reason in that case was I had them laying around unused, because their possible uses are rather limited. -- Andrew Gabriel |

I believe they are mainly intended for use in laboratory circuits or possibly farm circuits. Dave |
