shed elec supply

[urbantus]

My shed is approx 27 meters from the elec supply

My elec has said a 6 mm armoured cable will be big enough

I want to run 4 x 100 w lights
1x 3kw heater
5x double sockets for telly pc snd system and kettle

Is the cable big enough

would a 10 mm cable be better

6mm will be ok but personnaly I'd put in 10mm for any future expansion.

Had same situation here and put in 16mm2 cabling. I thought would i really wanna dig up my garden again if i needed anymore current?, hell no, so in my opinion the extra couple of quid was justified.
