I am not an electrician. Can anyone help please?
I have an outbuilding which I am converting into two offices.
The building is currently served by a 16mm armoured cable running underground from my house, the distance is about 100 metres.
Potentially the building could have a maximum of the following appliances:-
2x2kw electric oil filled radiators
1x1.5kw electric oil filled radiator
Hand wash 2.5kw
Electric Kettle 2.5kw
Saniflo 400 watts
Vacuum Cleaner 1kw
4 Fluorescent Lights
2 Computers
Total aprox 13kw
Will the existing 16mm cable be adequate or will I have to have it replaced with a 25mm armoured cable.
Thank you
