Quick question...
In the garden there is an outdoor socket. From that 2.5mm SWA to an outside fused spur. From the spur 1.5mm SWA to a junction box that powers a couple of outside lights. The junction box is next to a greenhouse. I want to install a socket in the greenhouse to power 2 x 17.5w heated germination pad, no other devices. The junction box is about 20m from the spur.
Would 1.5mm SWA from the junction box 2m away to a new socket be too small? As its coming from a 13amp spur, I think it should be ok. Can someone please confirm if I'm right? It would save me having to run 20m of 2.5mm SWA to the greenhouse.
Thanks.
