Help in re-wiring a long 350m outdoor run

[JohnW2]

The op has not been heard from for a while now, I reason that he had about 30 quids worth of cable ran across to his shed, this discussion is probably shocking to him since we all discussing how many thousands of pounds the materials will cost.
Bet he will just replace the chewed cable with a new one

Yes, quite possibly. Mind you, his original suggestion was to use 1.5mm 3-core SWA - and if he'd done any research at all, he would have already discovered that even that would probably cost him £400+. Mind you, it's the trench, not much less than quarter of a mile, that would probably worry me a lot more than the SWA!

Kind Regards, John.

Absolutely.

You wanna dig a 350m trench???

I wasn't attempting to claim any originality, merely confirming that I agree with you (and others) that the trench may well be a far bigger issue than the cost of the SWA! "Great minds..." if you like

Kind Regards, John.

Probably cheaper to move the workshop.

I think you may have scared this guy off.

Shouldn't have.

Basically it's gone like this:

We're looking at replacing it with a single run of proper SWA cable. Is 3-core 1.5mm OK or should it be thicker because of the voltage drop?

Yes, it should be much thicker.
