Hello there
Just after abit of advice got a supply to run to a garden shed for family friend, he wants x2 lights and x3 sockets its a run of 35 metres.
I was thinking of running a 2.5mm 3 core SWA clipped and underground (i have completed volt drop calcs and 2.5 is sufficient) from a non RCD protected board(20amp mcb) then straight into the shed with a 2 ways RCD main switch consumer unit earthed via a earth stake. My question is do you think that 2.5 is to small shall I fit a 6mm or 4mm SWA. He will be plugging in wood tools eg saws etc that draw very few amps and just 2 70W flourescents.
Any advice is appreciated as hopefully useing this job as part of my assesment
thanks
