Hi, I have a CU in the workshop and would like to fit a new radial circuit for a 32A industrial socket (an MK Commando) to run a welder with a maximum draw of 20A. I plan on fitting a 32A Type C MCB in the CU. This is only a short term installation (until the new workshop is built, ) so the cable will be clipped directly to the wall and the run will be less than 2m.
Given these conditions I think I should be able to get away with a 4mm cable, is that correct? Ideally though I'll like to use 6mm to be on the safe side but I'm really struggling to find anywhere that sells 6mm flex. I can't see standard T&E maintaining the IP rating on this socket is it wouldn't seal correctly around the cable entry. If someone could point me in the direction of appropriate cable that would be greatly appreciated.
Is there anything else I should consider?
Cheers
