HELP sizing SWA___________

[Judd]

For a Job I need to extend and relocate 3x SWA cables, after inspecting the cables I first concluded that they were 25mm 2core, after then comparing an off cut of 25mm 3 core to the existing cables the 3core appears the same size or even possibly smaller, I am now pondering if the existing cables are 35mm 2 core,
I only have the one picture at the moment but will be able to post a picture of inside the enclosures in a couple of days, all cables fit into a standard 60947-3, would 35mm fit into one?
Any help appreciated thanks

As I said, extend 3 cables, and supply a new cable to a new build.

i said " I'd like to keep it".

As above if you asking about volt drop, how far etc.

Just out of interest, will there be another phase supplied or are you planning on splitting one of the existing?
