External 16amp unit

[Colin7777]

I need an external 16 amp socket and seen this unit with a 16amp and 2 x 13 amp sockets.
I already have a cable running from the Fusebox to the outside location.
Could the unit be connected to the external cable and leave the fuse as is at the Fusebox or do I need a different connection

That Amazon item is not suitable for use outside, the socket isn't interlocked, and you don't need one with another RCD in it either.

This: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/LDB16slash3SS.html is an example what should go outside.
Change the RCBO in the consumer unit to a 16A, https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/FBRTA061630B.html

I think you need a spark .

Thanks for the reply. I will contact an electrician as it is more complicated than I realised. Question can I have a twin 16 amp unit? What size would the fuse then have to be.

The plug that plugs into it has no internal fuse, so regardless how it's wired or how many sockets connected the fuse must not exceed 16 amps

The Amazon box seems to have MCBs in it so if it’s fit for purpose the sockets should be appropriately protected regardless of the supply size (within reason). If an individual socket is fitted, the RCBO needs to be replaced with a 16 A one.

It's not fit for purpose. Absolutely no way those MCBs and the RCD next to them will be suitable for use with the whole thing installed outside.
