Electrical sockets for obsy, recommendations please

[Chris]

Hi Dave, its a good thought, I'm personally going to install the electrics in the insulated warm room section of the obsy which probably won't have as much dew, but I guess if you get out door sockets then you can't go far wrong. I was originally thinking I would perhaps need outdoor sockets, then I was leaning towards indoor, I might reconsider to be on the safe side though. It does seem likey that you would get some dew in the open area so maybe outdoor sockets would be a good idea in this case?

Apologies to the OP for the digression from the original thread.

I'll bow out now.

No worries, I'm just greatful for the advice:)

Would it be just as good to have the RCD built into the sockets? These seem to have good reviews and they are water proof as a bonus.

better to have the rcd in the house to protect the cable as well, if you are going to keep it on a plug top you could use this http://www.screwfix.com/p/volex-2g-dp-rcd-skt/57865 in the house, it`s a bit cheaper not being water proof

I'm just glad we don't need a gas supply as well.......

Doh! it does seem a bit obvious now that an RCD at the obsy end would only protect the cables plugged into it and not the cable feeding it, Thanks for clarifying that for me:)

The link looks good thanks, it gives me a couple of options for the house end:)
