Thanks for that much appreciated. Apologies im not sure how to reply with your questions embedded so ive repeated them below. So are your existing sockets not RCD protected? No How will the armoured cable to the transformer be installed, underground & glanded into the transformer...

The circuit isnt a ring circuit, I was trying to work out the worst case voltage drop for the 1.5mm2 and the 2.5mm2 and from this work out if it was necessary to install a ring circuit. Pardon my ignorance but worst case scenario assuming:- 2.5mm2 cable 13.3A (all lights on & between...

Thanks to everyone for their help and advice on this. Learnt a lot, much appreciated. Could anyone give me the voltage drop for the 2.5mm2 cable please. Guess we have to re-think our installation.

Hi Yes I'm going to spur off a internal socket via a RCD & then armoured 240V cable out to transformer. Using a 200VA 240/12V transformer mounted outside then running 1.5mm2 cable a total of 35 meters. Connecting off this 12V cable will be 16 x 10W halogens. Total current 13A and I...

Sorry, forgot to mention its a 12V system.

Its my first post so please be gentle. We are wanting to set up a low voltage lighting system in the garden to run 160W (16 x 10W halogens) the total run length of cable is 35 metres to reach the last light. The cable isnt looped. Please can someone help with the voltage drop. The cable we...
