Just had a call from a bloke I've been doing some work for. He's a landscaper and has just put a new summer house in someone garden and wants me to wire it. He says theres already a 6mm swa put in to feed it.
I'm just after a bit of info before I go take a look, just to clarify a few things. The 6mm swa should be ok (after considering length, volt drop, etc) to suply 3 twin socket outlets, and a light. It would need RCD protection.
Only problem is, they say they would like a hot tub at a later date. Now i know nothing about hot tubs but i pressume they are a fair few KW's therefore the 6mm is only good for scrap? Whats the average kw rating of a hot tub?
Whats your best advice for feeding the summer house? come off a 40amp mcb to a small cu in the summer house? Or split tails to an isolator then off to a small cu?
Awaiting your expertise
