My first post here so a big Hi to everyone!
I am planning on adding a 32A+6A RCD into my workshop. I use very high powered tools in excess of 4-5KW for a few hours at a time.
Now, My old shower still has cable intact and is quite close to my workshop, The shower is no longer used.
The shower is on a 40A RCD in the main CU with 6MM T&E direct to the shower, I will be disconnecting this and using a 2-way 100A junction box, Then continuing with 6mm T&E to the workshop RCD unit.
The total cable length from main CU to workshop RCD is about 25 meters, Then from workshop RCD to first socket in workshop is about 8 meters, Then another socket 2 meters away, Total length from CU is about 35M.
I will run the cable in some trunking, For about 10 meters length, Will this de-rate the cable a lot? the conduit will be about 25x15mm.
Can anyone spot any possible issues?
