Can anyone tell me why SWA cable says 600 to 1000V? Obviously this will be normal mains voltage of around 240V

I rigged my own up from SWA. Think that was 3mm strand over 25 metres. Just ran that through a junction box then into a plug. Into the shed. Not the best idea long term though, you want to get it right.

Yeah make sure you keep up with regs. Mr Nice seems to know what he on about.

That's just a max capacity.

The bigger the wire strand thickness the easier the electric can flow, smaller strand will get hotter. That why if you use an extension lead over time it will just keep blowing.
Bit like water through a straw vs a main water pipe.
