Hello,
We currently have an outdoor double socket IP56 rated which is a spur off the internal socket circuit, which is protected by RCD at the main house fusebox.
We want to run an armoured cable 25m down the garden into the garage to an RCD fuse box, to then feed x2 outdoor and x2 indoor lights for in/around the garage.
The outdoor IP56 socket has x2 indents (top and bottom) on the casing where it looks like they can be drilled through to allow an outdoor cable to be attached into the socket.
In this situation is it safe/ok to do this or would the garage feed need to come directly from the main house fuse box having its own dedicated RCD at source?
Thanks
