Hello.
I want to run an extension cable from a pre-existing mains socket in my garage, out through a hole in the wall and buried underground for approx 12 mtrs length to a 4 way strip adapter that wiill be housed inside a specific outdoors sealed box unit. I will be using the strip adapter to plug in transformer plugs that power low voltage LED lighting in my garden.
I realise I must use SWA cable but what size? I've seen that you can get 3 core 1.5mm , 2.5mm and 4mm?
Additionally, at the end of the cable that goes into my garage would I terminate the SWA cable directly on an RCD that plugs into the wall socket or use an alternative method?
Thanks.
