Hi all,
I am not really a novice at electrics, I am pretty clued up on terminology and domestic installation etc, however it is more of my hobby
I am installing some SON 150w floodlights, I will have 2 running.
First question, would it be better to run them on a ring? Or will a radial be ok?
Second question, they are 40m away from power source, am i right in thinking that a 1.5mm2 3 core flex cable would normally suffice for running the cables, but as its so far away it would be best to uprate the cable to a 2.5mm2 flex?
Also I would appreciate it if somebody could post the equations on how to calculate the size of cable for future references!!!!
Kind Regards
Lewis
