Theres only about 15m of 6mm swa under ground, could you change all the rest of it to a bigger cable, but leave the 6mm under ground are is that a no sorry if thats a stupid qustion? This qustion is for those who read my last post

cheers for the threads BAS, i will have a read on those links and knowin me will be back on asking more, thanks guys

Chri5 cheers! Its just that i read that cables can only take an amount of kw's, so when designing how do you know how many sockets can go one the cable, because its in amps not kw hope this makes sence not sure how to put it any other way

Yes ban-all-sheds i did ask that about the barn and i thought that it was very interseting how its all worked out, its got nothing todo with that now, i was just trying to understand how it all works, sorry for askin lads seems like this site is just about doing it right not understanding why...

Sorry about the u's am on my phone again

Its not for anything, its just what u was sayin about how many kw's a cable can take, now its easy to work out how many watts ur gonna use in ur lights, but how would u work out what ur gonna use in 13amp sockets

Say you had 2 lights both 500w, a heater say 2000w and a 13amp socket. The lights and heater come to 3kw's, what would you put for the 13amp socket

Thanks for all the advice guys, but its not worth all that messing about i thought it would be a bit more simple
