This is very naive. The calculations involved, before you even start,
would not be beyond you. But you have to know what to calculate, and be
aware (just as one example) of things such as thermal derating.

The current rating of a cable depends on how well it can dissipate heat,
now let's see if you can work out why...

I don't need to know that all I need to know if the circuts I am using can
handle
the current I will be drawing, as that is neglible the answer is.

If you are concerned about the heat I think are missing the most
obvious danger which is the current being drawn.

I assume this is a wind up but just in case...

You should listen to the good advice you have been given and get the
work done by somebody who knows what they are doing. You're obviously
not up to the job and could end up killing yourself, killing somebody
else or burning the house down.

Incidentally I'm a qualified electrician who also happens to have an
electronics degree as well as the usual C&G qualifications.

Please feel free to dismiss my views, if you wish to continue deluding
