Hi all,
I've been searching around for quite some time for an answer to my question and can't seem to find an answer.
I want to make up an extension lead to carry mains voltage to a 6V transformer plug that is powering a small appliance that can draw up to 200mA when maxed out (although I doubt I will max it out). I need this to go to around 50 metres. Any idea what cable would be good? I'll have other iterations of this but to shorter lengths.
Some suggestions say 2.5mm core for 13A but then I'm drawing far less. Another source said 1.5mm core would be good for 6A and that makes me think this would be ok as it has a 1.5mm sq conductor area: CBBR0068 - PRO POWER - Multiconductor Unshielded Cable, 3, 30 x 0.25mm | CPC UK How low a core size can I go..?
I found some equations but maths really isn't my strongpoint and I can't find my way around them...
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Many thanks, Jay
