Burried SWA for a log cabin

What about stripping twin & earth cable

how would you fix that to the fence?

I'd hide it under the concrete gravel board.

 

[telectrix]

good idea. then you could use the cpc as a horizontal earth "rod"

Misread it lol.

And if it is a canal board you will get a good reading.

especially with bike frames and Tesco trolleys added to the mix.

What about stripping TandE?

 

[telectrix]

think he's referring to the other thread about tearing sheath with cpc... another mountain out of a molehill thread.

My age is showing Tel , I read it as canal board, I don't know where I got that from.

Come on Pete, keep up.

As some if the others have said 4mm is not sufficient due to voltage drop. 6mm may just be ok if minimal sockets and lighting in cabin, otherwise 10mm.

 

[Deleted account]

Based on a similar job I have just calculated for 50 Meters. It was 10 mm SWA.

I don’t know your total load after diversity so cannot give you your definite sizing.

You will have to work it out on your figures.

Irreverent

Are you sure that's what you were trying to type?

What delightful irony indeed!

he'll fight you on the beaches, on the streets and in the hills.

For volt drop on 4mm SWA over 50 meters you are looking at no more than 14A to get below 3%

 

[Grezza]

450mm is the depth I go. Yellow electrical warning tape in around 200mm.

Where’s his “irreverent” post gone? Has he deleted it. ?

 

[Spoon]

The regs really need to bottom this. They put depths for other areas why don't they do it for domestic?
More to the point, why don't people use 600mm as specified in the regs.
