Just a quick question... I'm planning to put electrics in to 6 outbuildings using 100m of armoured cable. Because of the situation it has to be on several spurs rather than a ring main from an existing shed unit which is wired by 6mm to the house unit, only a few metres away.
In each building there will be a double socket with a light plugged into one and the other for relatively low power tools etc. Nothing above 1kW anyway.
My question is whether to buy 1.5mm or 2.5mm cable. There's a fair difference in price, but don't want to go melting anything if I get it wrong!!
I'm thinking that because of the distance it would be silly to put large tools onto it anyway, so 1.5mm would do.
I know its a pretty basic system, but going for cheap and cheerful!! Any thoughts?
