[QUOTE="TheTallGuy, post: 7305427, member: 9121"] Assuming that your supply is single phase and all 5 points run at 16A gives a load of 80A, at 500m & with 5% voltage drop I come out with 240mm2 cable... o_O Spreading the load on three phase gets you down to of 32A/phase & comes down to 35mm2 cable, which is considerably cheaper & easier to deal with! Useful calculator here [URL]http://www.doncastercables.com/technical-help/[/URL] As ever, you will need to speak to a proper electrician if you go ahead - preferably one who knows about the requirements for hook up points.
