ᐅ Electrical Planning in the Garden (5 x 1.5 mm²)

Hello everyone,

We are in the process of building our single-family house and have had an initial meeting with the electrician to discuss the first planning phase. He will be laying underground cables in the garden, and the quote specifies 5x1.5mm² (5x16 AWG).

I assume the cable looks like this:

- Yellow/green
- Blue
- Black
- Brown
- Gray

I will install outdoor sockets in the garden and plan to connect yellow/green, blue, and black as usual.

What are the other two wires for? I believe they might be for a separate circuit, but why?

I have a second meeting next week and will ask directly, but I want to be at least somewhat prepared.

Thank you
Best regards
Marco

Fits perfectly into the topic: Can anyone recommend suitable outdoor electrical boxes for embedding (for 5 x 2.5) cables? (with sealing compound or similar)
