[QUOTE="jckent, post: 12209, member: 294"] 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..... [/QUOTE]
