    Hot tub volt drop

    My cable calcs told me that the only limiting factor would be the VD (5.19%) at 50m using installation method 72 - D2 but as its only 45m it would come under the 5% for a power circuit.

    Hot tub volt drop

    Thanks for all your replys and input ? its looking like its 45m which seems like it should be ok using 6mm with a 4.5% VD Now i have unearthed another query with it being a PME system. I have seen lots of conflicting information regarding how this should be tackled and I believe there are 3...

    Hot tub volt drop

    Yeah its not just the cost aspect, i already have a drum of 6mm and it would make the job easier as its running through the loft first (clipped up off the insulation). 50m is probably slightly over estimated, but i don't want to pull it in and have problems due to volt drop. My calcs say under...

    Hot tub volt drop

    Can i get away with 6mm SWA on a 50m run for a 32a supply to a hot tub? Cable will be burried. I believe its very close to being over the 5% max Permitted? Whats your thoughts, should i go up to 10mm? Thanks

    Cable zones on a staircase

    Your right i dont know why i didnt look at it like that, but then to me that looks a less obvious cable route for someone looking at it in the future than a diagonal route ?‍♂️

    Cable zones on a staircase

    To be honest in the right setting it is nice stuff, making off sockets 2 inch from the floor with 4mm pyro or 8 cables in a switch. Not so nice. I could maybe get some micc and pots from work tho ? 1578776362 I haven't used this cable before, how is it made off and does it require a gland? Thanks

    Cable zones on a staircase

    Thanks mate, thats what I thought ?? 1578773087 I agree it would take some messing about to bend it at each box, the cable you quoted looks much easier but not cheap and only sold in 100m drums. I will see if i can source is in smaller quantities. Thanks ?? 1578773257 This is what i was...

    Cable zones on a staircase

    Thanks mate, I did think that would be the case but with the stairs being a horizontal surface i was hoping there may have been be away around it. I will stick some conduit in, would galv flexible conduit cover mechanical protection? 1578769334 Or go down the 12v route ?
