Loading Cantenary wire?

[Ross1]

Hi Guys, I`ve got 2 x 3core 6mm SWA cables to run overhead from a Barn to the chimmney of house and the run is 20m.

Never done this before, do you think this can work and how? I`m concerned about the weight

You wouldn't need SWA overhead, use something lighter and make permanent joints to SWA at the ends on the buildings.

Did cross my mind but cant figure out what cable to use.

I dread to think where this will end up.
Ross it’s obvious you don’t know what you’re doing, get this wrong and you’ve a house minus it’s chimney to sort out.
Out of interest how do you intend to get the centenary and cables in to place? Hope you’ve got a cherry picker in your van.

Yep cherry picker is nice and snug in van cause I dont fancy using the mobile platform on site and the scafold on the barn end, if the chimmney comes down it wont be a problem, got a mate who`s a brickie`s labourer.

You better hope he knows how to repair roofs too, as there is going to be a gaping hole in it!!! Oh, How about ceiling boards too?? Do you have any idea how much, just the top of a chimney stack weighs?? I don't think you do!!! lol!!!
