I have an outbuilding which I would like to bring into the 21st century with electric and all that. At present is is little more than walls, a window and a roof. It is however dry and weatherproof.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to run a bank of washing machines and driers in it. I am not talking 3 phase but regular domestic stuff. Perhaps a maximum of 6 washers and 6 dryers, some lights and possibly a bit of heating.
I have a 100A main fuse and a split consumer unit with Economy 7.
I'm not suggesting I do this myself but I would like to understand what is involved, what wiring I need internally and what I need as it does through the garden for about 10 metres to this outbuilding.
I do have some 16mm cable going most of the way already and wonder whether I (not me !) could cut a new cable into this supply and save a complete new installation. At present this 16mm cable supplies only a water heater unit with a maximum draw of 13.2kw.
All suggestions most welcome.
