[QUOTE="Traineeboy, post: 517584, member: 32807"] that’s a fair point this would give a bit more leeway. I assume that when the power is in the shed when fused down for the lights to a 3A fuse then using the 1362 would give more leeway for the lights. Thanks for flagging this up. But so I fully understand for future if the 80% Zs Is breached of the OCPD I guess it would be bad design to rely on the RCD as fault protection ? But if you in a position where you adding to an existing install and it can’t be helped then using RCD for fault protection is Ok. I know it’s probably a bad design if starting from scratch. [/QUOTE]
