how to connect an electrical plug outside

kappa369

Hi there i am planning to put an electrical plug outside. But i don't know if i should connect it straight to the fuse box, or in a loop with another interior plug.

vaio

as long as the outside bits are suitably waterproof and protected by an RCD then either is acceptable so go for the easiest

I think you will find its called a socket and if you dont know how to do it then maybe you should not be attempting it.
I think this sort of work is supposed to carried out by a qualifed person.
If its outside it must be RCD protected. After all accidents do happen. There are all sorts of tests that must be carried out before you can loop off of an exsisting circuit.

If I was you I would look on the niceic. website and look for a suitablly quialifed person.
