Why?Use the twin and earth, not the SWA option.
If you are competent to run this, surely you are able to do the cable calcs?
There's a cable calculator here: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technical/Charts/VoltageDrop.html
Use the twin and earth, not the SWA option.
185m is a very long way. You must be clear on what the total max load WILL be.
My opinion would be to have the supply provided where you need it.
This is my first post here so sorry that its quite long, but after reading through a few posts thought that a few on here are very helpful and so decided to post this.
On the Voltage drop calculator where it says circuit type then says non lighting circuit or lighting circuit, if its for a sub main then of the CU there will be lights what shall i put?
Also where it says ambient temperature, what would this be for a swa buried underground?
Where it says number of circuits if the swa is only acting as a sub main and won't be run with anything else i take it the number of circuits will be one?
And finally the option for power, i take it that is the max load that will be used?
Sorry to ask so many questions.
