Ok all.
Heres a quicky.
A garden outhouse/Office.
50m cable run.-so amoured
In outhouse-3 2g sockets + 2 outside lights and1-2 lighting units inside.
would you use 6mm 3 core or 10mm 3 core.
Because of the run length i wont take into account diversity of usage. apparently less than 20 amps.......
so on the c/unit 1 32 amp mcb for ring and 6 amp for lights all protected by rcd(of course).
I wouldnt noramlly ask such dumb question by the potential customer as aguing tooth and nail to save pennies. I have advised 10mm-to be safe.
I'm at edge of walking away anyway. but wish another point of view.....
