Got a bit of a problem working this one out, maybe someone can help - I have to install 3x washers & 3x Dryers (single phase) in the same location. The only board I can take the feed off is in an adjacent building (15 / 20metres away) with enough spare ways on the current 3 phase board.
Problem is that the feed cables will need to be SWA underground between the buildings, each machine is rated at 4.8Kw even if I run 2x 10mm swa cables and split the machines 3 & 3 the maximum load on each cable if all 3 machines are running together will be in excess of 60A - over the size of the largest breaker available.
Any sugestions greatfully recieved.
