Wiring in a Hydrovane 2.2kw compressor

[stuwindsurf]

I am about to wire in a Hydrovane 2.2kw compressor. I have to run a cable form the main house to the workshop underground. The compressor runs at 16 amps but spikes above that on start up.

I intend using 6mm cable, but would like to know what I protection I should be using at the fuse box in the house and what I should install in the workshop eg. RCD?

Thanks for any help with this!

i reckon prob C25 mcb for the compressor and ac-1 rated isolator will do

you can size your 'final circuit' cable according to the c25 and determine if Zs
and total VD( sub-main+final circuit) are within limits

you might also want to calculate the VD during startup- and see what the terminal voltage will drop to

you'll need a qualified sparkie anyhow
