Happysteve its more the fact that you was trying to help
So were the others. They were asking for more information, in the main. Without knowing more details, they can't advise properly.

(And so to bed.)

We can all see where the assumptions are coming from.

Now thats overkill :) ... you still haven't told us what the load is>??? Lighting?

PS my bedtime !
 
Blown away with how helpful this forum has been tonight.

Its this simple, 2 people supplied quotes with 2 different cable sizes on.

I wanted some helpful suggestions on what size is suitable, I have gievn you all the relevant info.
 
Yet we still dont know type of cable you are installing, so i would say you haven't provided all the relevant information yet.

Well what are the 2 sizes of cable that have been quoted for ?

if you list these we can give advice as to which size would be suitable
 
On a further note ... if you have 2 quotes with requested cable size differences ask the companies with the largest cable why it need to be that size and not the size of the other quotes .... if they give you a calculation throw it on here and we can confirm it this.. but youll be surprised how many legit companies think running standard twin and earth outside is ok i would be doing this in SWA so look to this on the quote although your determination to seek the answer and from previous threads you have started are you sure your not doing this yourself??? You must have loads of contacts by now to give you assistance.... just saying ;)

I never said I was doing this myself, you are assuming it.

I have been asked by my customer (whom I am installing a cctv system with poles remote in a yard, hence the external power source) if I can take care of the electrical side, so i am getting quotes to do this.

I have been given 2 cable sizes over that distance, I wanted advice off other sparks on that distance, if its not possible fair enough.
 
So all the power supplies are different distance from the source?
 
I have rang a couple of elec friends which have said 6mm? So thats why im here at 1.40am, shouldnt of bothered

No one location

Hindsight for you had you supplied all this info the responses would have been kinder .... and my post was just in jest hence the winking emoticon no offense meant...
 
On an helpful note id ask all the quoting companies to provide the calculations for the cable size as you have been given several different sizes ... trust me those who know their stuff will happily provide the calcs to confirm why it is said size.

Why would they of been kinder? all this info has been stated numerous times.

Thats what I will do as still no closer to what cable to use..................
 
I tend not to deal with the elec side for this reason, clear as mud.
