I am now onto rewiring the workshop and after advices on cable size for 200amp welder, couple of pillar drills and bench grinder and polishers.
I am getting a new CU fitted in the house so while the sparky is here, when i find one as been let down a few times now on non turn ups. I will have him do all the connecting up for me as i will be doing all the routing for the cables to lights and sockets etc. Just to save a bit of cash on his time.
The run from main CU to workshop CU will be 3m then the longest run to the farthest socket will be around 15m with five double sockets inline. Lighting will be LED.
Correct me here if i am wrong but i am thinking 10mm cable from Main CU to workshop CU with this
welder 6mm ( max 2m from CU to welding area )
Socket circuit 2.5mm
lighting 1.5mm
I would talk to a sparky but as said they are just not bothering to turn up yet and i want to crack on with this.
any advice appreciate .
