16A 3 Phase supply in SWA

Im looking to run in 2 16a 3 phase supplies, 25m long.

From what I can understand 1.5mm SWA is suitable up to 23A (table 4e4a, clipped direct)

1.5mm cable has a volt drop of 27mV/A/M =  10,800mV - 10.8v (table 4e4b, 3 Phase AC), Less than 5%.

So why do I see many people talking of 4mm installs?

I must be missing something?

  • What's the circuit supplying? Are there any starting conditions that might need taking into account?
