I'm asking because I dont have experience in that kind of work.


At least you are honest about that.

I juist want to know if it is possible to use it


It is possible to do most things, but not always advisable. Others
have given reasons from the wiring regulations why your course of
action is not advisable. I will give you another reason, you could
set the building on fire.

and how much load it is carryng.


How much load a cable carries depends on the load attached to it. So
far you have not said what the load is, or the type of circuit you
are interested in.

And whot ampacity of MCB to use for this.


The rating of an MCB depends on the load and type of cable it is
protecting (plus a few other things).

I juist want to ack someone with better experience than me.


Here is some advice. Don't try doing things with electricity, unless
you thoroughly know what you are doing. You may well kill yourself,
or someone else.
