sauna wiring

[daveqwe]

i have a 4 kw heater in the sauna and the sauna is in the outside summer house how do i wire it from the house to the shed.

some armoured cable will probably be favorite, along with - glands, boxes, trips, switches.

How far do you estimate the cable run to be?

You need the distance to work out the cable size and an electrician to install it.

Use a competent spark that is a member of one of the Part P schemes as this work is notifiable.
You'll find lots near you at
www.competentperson.co.uk

Do not cut corners on this. You have an environment where water and electricity come together half way down the garden.
There are lots of safety and regulatory issues involved. Do it with someone who knows what they are doing.
