[QUOTE="Dertt, post: 440062, member: 28668"] Hi everyone. Just built a man cave and am now adding electric to it.My proposal is; swa on a 32amp mcb from my cu running out and being buried to the cave(25m run) My cu is a TT arrangement on the earth. I plan to bring 6mm swa into a cu in the cave.The maximum watts used at any one time would be approx 5000. My question is do i use a 3 core swa(earthed from the first cu and then earthed again at the second with a TT arrangement or can i use 2 core and just earth at the cave with another TT arrangement. There will not be any water pipes in the cave(timber)and there will only be relatively low wattage power tools, heater and led lighting. I have messed with electrics from time to time but am not an expert on some matters. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
