My brother 'phoned for some advice on wiring his 'shed' (more like a barn in size). He wants to run a ne supply cable to replace the 2.5 FT&E.
The run is about 40m, some clipped to a wall and some buried under a path. The loading is about 15A peak.
He's hoping to get away with 4mm - I feel that 6mm might be less of a throttle on machines. I don't know his mains voltage (rural Wales, so...) and I can't really get an idea of his CU as he knows little about electricity. He does have a 'tame' electrician who'll do the job, but the chap hates SWA and has hardly ever used it.
I've seen in this group some mention of other protected cable - mesh, IIRC - but can't unforget what it was (annoying, because I used the stuff at work about 25 years ago).
Any pointers much appreciated.
