[QUOTE="Shocker1, post: 561149, member: 38479"] I did indeed. I used a couple of other calculators too, and it seemed like 6mm 3 core was within the bounds of what I need. I refer to: Except where installed in a conduit or duct which provides equivalent protection against mechanical damage, [B]a cable buried in the ground shall incorporate an earthed armour or metal sheath, or both, suitable for use as a protective conductor,[/B] or be of insulated concentric construction. As I am a DIYer, I felt it best to just use 3 core rather than trying to use the steel wire as my ground, I am more comfortable with the extra copper core. Even if I am at the top end of what I will be running, I don’t think I’m concerned about the 6mm being the issue? As I said, please inform me if you have helpful and relevant information! [/QUOTE]
