I have a log shed that is made of metal.
I plan to fit IP68 rated lights, switches and sockets...
Ditto for the greenhouse next door and also outside security lighting. I will be using at least 6 RCBOs for high integrity and discrimination.
I already have a SWA cable into the shed and as the log shed has vents everywhere to allow the logs to dry out, I have not been able to find a IP68 rated consumer unit.
Do they exist or must I buy a IP68 rated enclosure and put the metal CU inside that?
Marine CU?
Why IP68?
IP65

Serious flood risk? (IP68 implies suitable for long term in water >1m depth).
Because the CU is close to a set of doubl doors...
The double doors are often left open to aid the log drying process.
The CU would be exposed to blown in torrential rain from time to time....
And the reason why the CU is going to be located by the double doors is because the logs are stacked floor to ceiling from the opposite wall towards the doors.
The logs are effectively in one big massive stack.
I don't want to have to move a load of logs every time something trips so why the CU is by doors to provide ease of access
Beat me to it!
