I want to get power to my shed. I know the right way to do this is using armoured cables, but they're pretty pricey, and I don't think I've got anything that will cut through them, so they look a bit painful to work with (maybe some Park cable cutters might work...) .
Is it a no-no to just use standard cable in a tough conduit? I don't think there's a significant risk of cutting through it, but I read that cable can overheat in conduits; sounds bad, but not sure what the consequences are.
It'll be running a 24/7 heater / dehumidifier (on timers) a 12v led light system and various power tools / dust extraction.
Now I've written this down, it's obvious I should just get the armoured cable. But any comments welcome!
