A plug in tripswitch, espicaly if your useing water or cutting equipment.

Good leads have a trip on the coil.

Plug in tripswitch in the house protects you better if you have problem on cable.

Plug in RCD is not needed unless the DB in the house does not have one.

16 Amp IP rated connections.
Rating only applies when they're plugged in though.
