Hi All,
I’m looking to wire in a new 240v twin socket in my shed and i'd like it to have its own dedicated fuse in the consumer unit. Please find pictures attached.

Please can anyone advise on the fuse type that will be compatible with this unit? I cant seem to find these Logic ones anywhere.

Many thanks,

Toby

The correct devices for that are Wylex NSB. Those you have fitted are non compatible devices and should not have been fitted.

Do you have a regulation number for that statement Westy? I understood that as long as the devices were not under a recall regime or that the manufacturers of the devices could not guarantee safe operation in an enclosure of a different make than the device in question, then they should not be used.
 
at least they are all the same brand.

@OP.the MCB/RCBO rating would depend on the cable used to supply the shed, and FFS sake use a font that we can see. :eek:.
 
I presume that the picture is of the consumer unit in the house?
How will you get the power to the shed?

Ps. Note that what you plan (new circuit) is notifiable to LABC.

I wonder if they are an own brand somewhere made by wylex as the shape is similar and the actual switch looks identicle to a wylex one of that age....

Could be worth checking with wylex maybe... Or maybe not...

Its a Wylex board so the Wylex devices shoukd be ok.
