doesn't that depend on the load?
or so you mean the current carrying capacity as defined in the regs book?
or are you asking about volt drop? distance doesn't affect the CCC of a cable.. but you may need larger cable for a given load to allow for volt drop...
anyway.. table 4D4A says 1.5mm SWA will take 22A burried.. ( single phase )
