Armoured cable size

Posted by Saz Byrne, on
Good evening have a fuse box in my house which I’m soon getting upgraded as it’s old and insufficient for today’s needs. My question Is: I’ve got a wood cabin in my Garden approx 15m from the fuse box. Can I use 3 core 2.5mm² SWA cable – product code (H6943XL2.5) from Doncaster cables to add a single electric light and a few double sockets in the cabin? The sockets won’t all be used at once, but just wondering if this cable and the upgraded fuse box will be sufficient to run the electric to the cabin? I’ve already got a drum of this cable spare, which is why I’m asking, as I will just buy a thicker cable reel if you experts think it won’t be Sufficient to supply the sockets? Thank you ??
