	Welcome to the forum..a.aladawi. We wish you will contribute to and learn from the forum. Some tips for asking questions...do not hesitate to give more details, like in this case a) the length of cable b) Buried or on Cable tray. c) 3 X single core or 1 X 3core. d) Any future load additions on the cable. If we go by purely the current method i would suggest 3 core X 240 sq mm Copper SWA XLPE cable. Good luck. __________________ He must be very ignorant as he answers all the questions he is asked.
