Long extension between meter and consumer unit Discussion ThreadLong extension between meter and consumer unit Electrical Advice
I am planning to go semi off grid with a victron and battery system. The system will be installed in an out building about 20 meters away from where my consumer unit and meter currently is.
I need to run the grid power from my meter to the out building to the victron inverter, but then also need to run the power back to the consumer unit.
Here's my question:
What size swa cable should I use? My main incoming fuse is 60 amp so I think 16mm conductors should be ok, or should I use 25mm?
Also could I use a 4 core swa cable to do this "send and return" job, or should I use two individual 2 core cables?
