unfortunately with electricity its not a case of this and that with one of thse and some of that all connected like that will work.

it depends on cable size, length of run, intened load etc.

what you are asking is like saying how many mpg will i get from my car, with out saying how you will drive it, size of engine,weight of car etc

I think you should install a 16mm2 ring main fused at 32A to allow for potential future expansion.
