he can always buy some american gear.it might be 5 KVA after the electric board have calculated diversity . In our world its a 100 amp supply .
If you going to use 16mm swa on the 400meter run your getting 89 volts of volt drop at a design current of 80 amps .This will leave you with an undesirable 141 volts to play with in the house .

What are these Freddos ?Or Freddos
^^ where do you think the meters will be?
Hi, the meters will be in the new cabinets at the supply (not the other end of the cable)^^ where do you think the meters will be?
Hi,5KVA seems pathetic for a dwelling. I'd do the 3 D's (dig, duct, drag rope ) then leave it at that till things have been finalised and calculations completed.
If you worked on a design current of 63A and <1% volt drop, had a couple of cables in parallel, had a trench dug to proper depths, 50mm bed of sand, cables laid in trench, 150mm of sand on top, warning tape, trench back filled, OCPD/earth fault protection installed, termination at far end and so on I don't think you would see any change out of 20K. That's just for the cables to the furthest building....you still have the cable to get to the 1st building. If the cables followed the same route your still looking at least another 10K.
Answer to your question, the mindset of the average Joe Public is shot to pieces,I normally keep quiet on these sort of threads, but why oh why do people think, oh I can just chuck a cable in, I mean anybody can do that?! ill just make it up as I go along, cooorrrr I duno lets stick a 2 core armoured in and some stakes, that'l do,! just literally please STOP IT get an electrician in and get him to design it.
Hi, I am not trying to supply 80A at the property, the electrical system will be designed around a much smaller supply, probably nearer 10Ait might be 5 KVA after the electric board have calculated diversity . In our world its a 100 amp supply .
