Discuss 150m Cable run outside to spur? in the DIY Electrical Advice area at ElectriciansForums.net

The OP told us everything else about the load except the one thing i kept asking .... what exactly the load was... well until post 73 that is... will their also be

Trace heating?
Lighting?......etc etc so we knew what VD allowance to apply.


To note the PSU which the OP has stated are not suitable for the job - they state 0-40 degrees operating temp' (does this refer to ambient temp or unit temp) unless he's installing these on the equator i would assume it gets colder than that around here... hence i query trace heating and that then rockets the load up...

I would be contacting PSU manufacturers and ensuring the units are correct fit for purpose as i assume this is either ambiguous or an oversight by the CCTV suppliers.

If their response is vgue and they say they haven't had any issues yet then i would be concerned about the supplier.
