[QUOTE="DIYShock, post: 314401, member: 22163"] Marvo, Thanks for the quick response. At the point of sale (and yes, sadly I am working slightly backwards having bought the cable and buried it) this was recommended to be enough for running a lawn mower or a heater. The intention for the cable is simply a tidier extension lead really. You managed to edit this whilst I was thinking "but I thought 1.5mm was rated to 16A"! Anyway, the length of SWA from garage wall to greenhouse is approx. 2m and from greenhouse to shed will be approx. 4m. The greenhouse to shed will actually be above ground so heat dissipation will be better as well. Inside the garage I will do the usual gland onto junction then standard 3 core to either plug, socket or CU (if essential). The SWA is "PVC sheathed, XLPE insulated to BS5467". The garage radial is directly from the CU. The CUs (yes, there is more than one, and Solar feed in to complicate things) are actually in the garage along with the main supply. Thanks for your help [/QUOTE]
