Supply for Glamping pods

[hockley14]

We are considering putting in two glamping pods on our farm.
The main house has a two phase supply (so im told). The house has a annex connected to it and also stables.
The pods will be situated 300 meters from the main consumer unit. Cables would need to be underground.
At the pods we will need to supply lighting and a few sockets for a kettle, toaster 2 ring hob, fridge and hairdryer. (no heating) A klargester sewerage plant will also be present.
We estimate that if everything is running at once we could have a draw of around 4kw.
So my question is simple!!!!!! what size/type SWA would be required. What volt drop would there be etc.
I look forward to anybodies help.

Klargester make a variety of products which work in a variety of ways, from simple tanks up to full sewage pumping and traatment plants.

A Klargester is a type of sewage treatment plant that relies on gravity, the fact that they may or may not involve pumps and other equipment is irrelevant. It bit like Hoover making more than just vacuums.

If you want to get picky the OP has it as a Sewerage plant, that's wrong as "sewerage" is the network of sewers. It's a sewage plant.

Klargester is a company, now owned by Kingspan, which makes all manner of waste water treatment and sewage systems.

I know, but the process is originally "Klargester" they expanded then got bought out .

I would just like to say thank you to all those who posted with technical knowledge and the positive reply's. Its all been very helpful. I have taken some of your advice and will be working with a local firm of Electricians to resolve my issues.
Its just a shame that these types of forum threads get taken over by people who appear more keen to point out other peoples incorrect spellings or misuse of words rather than apply themselves to the real question in hand. This can obviously really mean only one thing.........
And that is they have no real idea whatsoever in the first place.
So, thanks again to all those that posted early you answered most if not all of my questions and have pointed me in the correct direction. I will post on here again with the solution once in place which is likely to be six months on from now.
Regards
David

Yes keep us posted with how you get on. It will be interesting to see what solutions they come up with.

And good look with the glamping business.

I remember when my parents took on a council farm just outside Aylesbury in 1984 we had what I thought was one of the first bio-discs to made?
I remember ( only being 8 , so may be a little incorrect) all of the big wigs from Klargester , the council and others turning out to see it working , and one of them filling a pint glass from the outfall and claiming you could drink it , untill one of the council bods put him up to it and he soon changed his bloody mind !?
I had always thought this was their first product but it was hardly gravity , because when the calf's used to lick the isolator in the shed and knock it off the whole tree paddock it was sited in and ditch it discharged in became an open cesspit , if left unchecked.
Having said that , I just Googled it and Klargester are 60 odd years old , which got me interested in what they had before the bio-discs .
Do you know their earlier history?
I have honestly wondered about them as with above along with being a local company and we had our second female apprentice go and work for them dome 15 years ago or so?

I think you are referring to a Rotating Biological Contactor. They have been around in the UK since the 60s.

Thanks David , like I say at 8 years old , it was not one of those things that seemed important at the time ?
It was the green fibreglass body and big rectangle dome lid, and inside you had a set of discs on a shaft being run by a motor and chain.
I think ! It had a settlement pit which flowed into another chamber, where the discs run with little plastic cups fixed on side of the discs which discharge into another chamber then to the outfall pipe.
A bit sad but being a dairy farmers son , effluent management has always been of interest to me.
Hopefully just yesterday I have picked up a largeish separator installation on a local dairy farm we were installing some solar on last week .
They use sand as bedding , so it'll be the first be wired like this.

At 300m and 8kw total load you are looking at a serious wedge of cash on the cable. Id strongly suggest getting a spark in to calculate that, as even one size too big is a LOT more money. Also installing 300m of anything is going to be a massive task, you are going to be talking roughly a tonne of weight.

Have you considered the alternative idea of using camping gas for kettle / hob.12v lighting and fridges and 5v usb sockets supplied from a solar and battery setup? No hairdryer though

What kind of solar set up would that require?
