[QUOTE="DaveS79, post: 503185, member: 28820"] Thanks SL your correct I did enter 240 for nominal voltage and at 32 metres this does still come out over 3%. The ring could be as much as 40 metres in total and lighting 10 metres. I realise it's the total drop from furthest point of circuit to origin of supply that needs to meet voltage drop regs? so looks like will be quite way over if still go with 6mm and 32 amp supply. The outbuilding will be mainly used for t.v computer stuff and possibly washing machine and he had mentioned using power tools down there. What is your general approach for jobs that sound like this? Surely it isn't that common to run 10mm. Would you be more inclined to put it on 20 amps at supply and have 16 amp radials in the outhouse? Cheers [/QUOTE]
