Another question on these floods, the furthest flood light wired in 4 core swa is wired using 2 cores for live so live 2 X 4mm neutral 1 x 4mm , what are the issues with this??? I assume this was done to help voltage drop..

No not alot more, db is adj the pitch, feeds socket & light in brick shed that houses the db, a couple of 500w floods that don't work, a socket in the groundsmans container, which I would say is very rare for tower lights to be on and groundsman to be there at the same time and a tennis hut...

Thanks Special Location for that I've taken that on board, just a thought Tower 2 are fairly new [4x1000w] installed by someone else, I am guessing they replaced 4 x 400w would that make any difference?

Its stopped raining so bit more info, Took the voltage at supply with no load apart from a fridge in a nearby tennis hut got 240v. Took it again with all the floods on got 232v. The four towers are as follows, tower 1 about 15m from db with 4 x 400w lamps only one working, tower 2 approx 44m...

All good comments thanks, when it stops raining I'll go and check the loading on each tower as some of the fittings are newer than others and measure the cable length. With regards to what the problem is they are complaining that the lights are dimmer than others, I'll also check the operating...

Voltage at head is 231V

Cheers thanks for replies, don't think they want to go down the route of changing the control gear, as said I need to calculate cable length & design current. They seem to think changing to 3 phase supply will help so needed an answer for them. Good thing if they change supply though I might...

Hi I have been asked to check voltage drop on some sports ground flood lights. Supply is a TNCS single phase supply, there are 4 sets of flood lights, four on each post. The four posts are on individual circuits, wired in 4mm swa protected by c32a 61009. Voltage on the furthest lights is 217v...
