I am putting together some 32A 1phase connections for plugging in a caravan to the house power. I was planning on using SY flex or SWA, from consumer panel to a 32a socket, would that socket need a rotary isolator? I'm thinking yes, it will be on a dedicated MCB, and next to the consumer unit, but maybe should still have one to prevent it from being unplugged while switched on.
If I'm using SY flex, I'm not sure the difference between standard whiska stuffing glands Vs. skintop glands.
The caravan has a 32a blue commando style plug on it, so I'm wondering wether I can just run a lead over on a catenery wire and plug it in, it runs along side a tall hedge. It seems a lot of work to dig a trench, bury SWA, and mount a box on the caravan, so really I'm looking for an easier method, and what would be the appropriate type of cable to use. I am competent in sizing the cable appropriately and allowing for voltage drop over length. But I want to know if there is a safe alternative to excavation and trenching a cable, as the caravan will be there whilst the house is under renovation, so it is only semi permanent, and don't want to dig up a cable afterwards.
