max volt drop to sub board

[The apprentice]

max volt drop to sub board 3 core swa 137 meters ?

 

[The apprentice]

Is that a question or a suggestion?

25mm2 swa on a b50 breaker 1.75 times 50 times 137 _ 11.9v still over

 

[The apprentice]

what would you guys do if you where doing the job rather just be told thanks tho i do appreciate you guys helping me and no iam not just ignoring the volt drop sorry i ment to reply to you mate

Sorry Mate not making sense. you mention 10mm2 what was that all about?

Are you connecting this cable at source to a consumer unit or triple pole dist board. Either way the size of cable required isn't realistically going to be connected at them. You will require a separate enclosure to make off the cable and use a smaller csa to connect into the board.

What is the design current? And what route will it take on a wall or buried?

 

[Strima]

Without a design current you cannot realistically and economically design a circuit.

I'd start by giving the customer an estimated cost before spending much time designing it as most people will be put off by the price of doing it properly.
I'd also be exploring other options instead of running a 137 metre single phase circuit.

I think you would be looking at 35mm² and with lighting 50mm² without C factors in the mix buried or clipped.

Why 50 amps for a caravan, what are they growing in there?

 

[haptism]

Does lighting still need to be 3% v.d if using led ?, thought some leds had a operational voltage between two values (say 200v - 240v). I Might be wrong about that but do seem to recall something along those lines in another discussion a while ago.

 

[westward10]

The requirement according to BS7671 is 3%. The type of installed fittings is not relevant.

Fit lower voltage LED's and mark is as a deviation perhaps ?
