Swa size

[gazdkw82]

Friend of mine is having a feed to his shed.

Wants 5 sockets and some basic lighting. I think 40A would be sufficient.

its 20ft away max.

what size swa would you recommend?

Would 16mm be ok?

never be afraid to ask. itis the duty on experienced sparks to pass on their knowledge to trainees and apprentices. while hands-on face to face is the best way to learn, advice from this forum is a fair substitute. the main drawback with internet is the fact that you can't get a scuff round the ears for getting it wrong. :rofl:

I didn't mean to cause all this bother :-/

like i said my friend basically asked me if I wanted to tag along for some experience. I have no doubt he has worked it out. But the one thing he didn't tell me was the size of the swa cable and it got me thinking which is why I asked.

ultimatly i I don't have enough information to work it out so I'll have to ask him

You say the one thing your friend didn't tell you was the size of the cable, did he then tell you what the shed was to be used for and what the sockets were likely to supply, after all he's arrived at a value of 40amps. More info is definitely required as this installation might not be the 'run of the mill' garden shed, just saying.
