SWA 2 core 120 sq mm cost for 800 m ?

[RogerS]

Any electricians happen to roughly know the price of the above ? Tried Googling but most sites only go up to 32 sq m. I need ManSize.

TIA

More than 32 sq m ! Bloody hell that IS man size!

 

[Wildman]

at the price for 800mtrs you may as well install a genny.

 

[Fitzroy]

you must have a big garden to install a shed that far from your consumer unit!

Wonder what the voltage drop would be over that length.

Are you connecting directly to a power station?

You are going to need some special switchgear too - the main switch on a typical domestic consumer unit can only take 35mm2 cables. Have you considered 3 phase? lower losses on long runs I think?

Fortunately over that distance with normal house loading very little.

Did someone say man sized cable?

No, moving. The mains supply to the house we're looking at is, shall we say, 'challenged'!

Taking a step back from sourcing, what calculation led you to that size requirement?

Have you tried www.qvsdirect.com

Good range of electrical equipment, plus very good customer service and delivery. =D>

I have no connection with the above, other than a satisfied customer.

My electrician.

Could you get away with pairing up 2 cores on a 4 core cable? - e.g. 4 core 50mm sq cable - lot more of it produced = more competitive prices?

 

[lurker]

I'm sure the local travellers will sell you some cheap

My electrician.

If you trust him to be honest on the calculation, why not trust him to source the cable?
