what size armoured cable

Whoa! Guys lets calm down, this is the DIY forum not the greenpeace one. Solar came here for some general advice, not a slanging match, how and what he uses his electricity for is his business and not ours. We are all welcome to an opinion but please lets tone it down and not spoil the forum.

Anyway solar I'm not an electrician so cant provide any concrete advice but heres my take on the situation.

The load you propose is indeed quite high and would lead me to believe that your best route is to get a new separate mains supply installed by the DNO, but can you describe in more detail how you currently propose to supply the power as you talk about an existing supply somewhere and I'm a little confused. Is this supply currently used for anything and if so what?

As you also mention adding to this load with a summer house kitted out with a hottub then theres a lot of equipment going on the end of the cable and a new supply will probably be better and possibly cheaper in the long run.

All the best
Dan

It is up to all of us to oppose selfish and destructive madness like his whenever and wherever we can. It is a civic and moral duty.

What he got was perfectly justified criticism of behaviour which is going to kill innocent people.

how and what he uses his electricity for is his business and not ours.

That is not true.

Just how outrageous does somebody's behaviour have to be before your opinion becomes one of such contempt that you express it?
