Arbalist:
Thanks for that Stuart. Our main consumer unit is as you describe with sockets etc on the RCD protected side of the unit and lighting on the other. I'm really surprised you can't seem to get a simple unit for garages that has an RCD protected circuit for sockets and another for lighting. Guess I'll just pay the extra and let the sparks supply the stuff! Thanks again.
Arbalist:
Thanks Phil, we were both typing at the same time. I don't have, and don't plan to get a VFD but thanks for the information, very helpful.

Thanks for filling out the details, I am dyslecic and typing out a lot of info takes me a long time
A good earth and equipotetial bonding are the best safeguards you can have followed with correct over current protection
Stay safe

Very interesting thread. I installed the first one linked to by Arbalist into my garage. Combined with the other thread "Zapped by my lathe" http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,9827.0 it raises some important questions. None of my equipment is earthed other than through the mains plug and I would like to know more about what I should be doing to improve safety.
