Hi, I am in the process of digging my drive up and would like to install an armoured mains cable while I am doing it.
I won't be using it for a while but want to put it in while I have the opportunity.
It will eventually be a dedicated circuit for a utility room and a shed that are already wired, but as part of the house circuit.
The wiring will feed a microwave, washing machine, tumble dryer & fridge freezer in the utility plus there are three twin sockets in the shed that are used for light duties (jigsaw, mitre saw, radio etc).
As well as this there is an outside socket for the mower and the lights in the shed.
What I want to know is, what size cable do I need to power this? The length of armoured cable from my consumer unit to termination point in utility will be about 7/8 metres.
Thanks in advance
