We're trying to get a mains water connection at our farm - however because the house is too high we need to put a tank (and a pump) some distance away from the house, down a field.
Apparently the pump will need 6 amps, and will be between 550m and 600m away from the electric supply.
I have a horrible feeling that the voltage drop on this distance will make it an enormous armoured cable (wants to be 4 core).
Any ideas how I start working this out?
