Workshop wiring.

Whip the front cover off of that cu you have there and show us a photo.

You could likely keep it and ditch the RCD in it at the mo. Then I maybe give you a C6 RCBO for the lights, a B32 RCBO for the sockets, B32 RCBO for the plasma & welder. You could have the C40 RCBO for the compressor.

You need to know how your existing set up is fed from the house cu.

rather all pointless if its through a 30ma rcd in the house db if thats where its fed from

That's discrimination!

Sorry, "selectivity" to be pc about it.

Hence me saying he needs to know how it's fed.

I think.its through a 63amp trip but will get it checked to see if its RCD or an RCBO .
But I can get it fed with what's ever needed. It's just that at the moment I think it's using the feed that was put in for the shower but not used yet.

I can pretty much guarantee these RCBOs here would fit your existing board. Deffo want some blanking covers but you could print them.

Take a pic of your cu maybe and point at what feeds the workshop.

Don't need to point. It's a great big stand alone trip switch. Lol
