Electrical safety when adding electrics to an outbuilding.

Any outdoor electrics will require RCD protection. A Residual Current Device will kick in within milliseconds to protect individuals from electrocution and to reduce the risk of electrical fires. As outdoor electrics will be exposed to the elements such as moisture, heavy rainfall, dust and debris, enhanced protection is imperative against increased risk of electrical faults.
