Does anyone know what the maximum distance a 240v extension lead can be made? It will need to support a 13amp appliance?
Thanks

Why don't you tell us how long you need it to be and then we'll tell you what size cable you will need to use..
Thats the question.. Im trying to decide whether I have to hire a generator, or if I can run a cable.
The max distance could be upto 400m, but if necessary, could be brought down to 250 - 300m?

A 13A appliance at 400m will need 25mm² cable - it would be cheaper to buy a generator.
