What happens if you charge both up at the same time? Do you have just a battery bank, or solar as well?

It should be written on the outer sheath of the cable.

Can you post a picture of the old board.

One thing you will find about the forum members is that they are not mind readers, and don't know your background. So it does help if you make that clear from the outset. You will also find we don't like 'spoon feeding' people, so if you have a problem, and explain what you think is a potential...

Interesting, that's been kept surprisingly quiet.

Plenty got blown across the room, all learnt electricity is dangerous 😀. Now was there an odd death, yes, of course there was, but in percentage terms, you're probably looking at something like 0.0001% of the population. No kids I know if we're killed, I know of far more sparkies killed by...

They will probably do the job regardless. When I was young, RCDs didn't exist, fuseboards were all wire, and earthing on lighting non existent. Somehow we all lived to tell the tale, despite our mother's knitting and leaving knitting needles lying around.. Very few properties like that exist now.

Humidity sensor fans are the work of beelzebub and either fail to run it run for hours in end.

Without knowing what else is going on, we need to know the construction of said shed. A metal frame tells us nothing about the rest of the shed.

I retrained as an electrician after many years as an electro mechanical engineer. Like your self I was pretty well versed in electrical theory , but you have to appreciate the is power distribution rather than control circuitry, and it's more about the physical installation of the cabling. Just...

Sounds like a neutral has been taken from the 20a circuit for a light , so you would need to find that connection and remove it. Turn off the 20 A and find what doesn't work anymore.

If fitted properly they can be immersed in a puddle to a depth of 1m. However, many installers seem to lack MC4 spanners needed to do them up properly, or overtigten and cross thread them. Some factory fitted connectors aren't always great, and a favourite of any seal leaking is getting dirt on...

I don't think he's right about that, or the fan would not work when you switch the light on. Either way it's probably looking for a 240V pulse.

And in addition to that, there was no enforcement of the plastics used to be fire retardent, as per appropriate standards

Ok , play nicely now, tis the season of good will to all, except stormtroopers of course 😃 I seriously doubt the op has any form of test gear to do a more effective investigation, in which case it's a valid suggestion to at least minimise the impact of nuisance tripping until they can get an...
