My current plan is to common all the L/N/E, put a 13A fuse on each

Anything obvious that I've missed?


Quite frankly though, I think the best advice is not to be so
penny-pinching - go out and buy some 10 mm^2 cable and do the job in a
more conventional manner!


Sigh.
Well, yes.
Unfortunately, I have filled the conduit with other wiring (all
isolated, so if it goes live there is no safety issue), and it's going
nowhere.
Fixing it 'properly' would involve ripping the lawn up, along a ~10m
track, which is really, really annoying to do, and get level again.

Maybe in a few years I'll do this, and put a 100mm conduit in, as I have
for the bit going under the house wall.

Thanks.


Why not run the kiln on one 2.5 and everything else off the other? You
could even hack up a split CU so its running 2 separate circuits.
