[QUOTE="Thinqer77, post: 499649, member: 32971"] Thanks for all the sensible suggestions and I'm already on board with them. I'm fully aware this'll be a new circuit on the CU and will need to be Part P compliant, hence why I'm not doing it myself, I just want to be able to have an informed discussion with a sparky. Responding to some specific comments/questions raised: [USER=250]@SPECIAL LOCATION[/USER] What's the issue with 10mm for 85m? Is it a question of physically getting it into the conduit? I had assumed the conduit would slot or screw together in sections (a bit like you see in metal railings every now and again) so would only ever have to feed it through 1-2m of conduit at a time. I acknowledge that I'll be pulling a lot of cable through though! Regarding choosing someone with little or no experience, I misspoke a little there - I'm looking for advice so I can weed out those people when getting my 3 or 4 quotes... [USER=1408]@Evans Electric[/USER] Would you suggest putting poles in rather than using trees? If so, is there a max distance that you can span with a catenary wire? [USER=24445]@Murdoch[/USER] Thanks. When you say there's more to it than the cable calc, are you speaking about the whole job or just the selection of cable? Does my selection sound reasonable (i.e. 10mm for 85 or 100m. Load is likely to be on average 500-1000W with peaks of 3-5kW) Has anyone seen any other type of ducting that could be laid along the ground (i.e. not under it) and not attached to the fence that would comply with BS7671 and a spark would be happy to sign off against? Thanks in advance... [/QUOTE]
