First off sorry i know this may seem a very dumb and simple question but please bear with me as im tying to learn/understand
Exploring the fuse box/consumer unit mcb's and rcd's in my new house.
Ive noticed in the garage is a seperate box with two old style fuse wires one 30a one at 15a
The mcb for the garage on the main fusebox in the house is rated at 16amp
Is this normal?
How does this work if only 16a is connected to the garage but the unit inside is rated at 30amp, will the sockets inside the garage be able to run a heavy appliance or will they only be able to pull a max 16amp?
As you can tell im not very clued up on this sort of thing so any help is appreciated
Thanks
