Does anyone have a favourite site, to work out the CSA required for a
piece of cable, basically I want to make up an extension to run a
circular saw (1200 W) [at 240V that is 5A] asked the chap in the local
Hardware shop for cable large enough to deal with 2 kilowatt (mmm over
speccing as usual), he said he had nothing that could deal with that
much power 2k was "cooker sized", but my kettle (e.g.) is 2200 W, so
can't trust him as far as I can throw him.
