just out of interest, that cable is way over rated for a 4amp fridge.
Cable rating is the current a cable can draw at its maximum temperature. Cable temps are rated such as V75 (75 deg C) e.g. a 6mm flexible single core cable can deliver 56amp but will be 75 degrees to touch.
the voltage drop reduces as the load decreases. What im trying to say is their is going to be very very little difference in voltage drop with a 4amp load on a 6mm cable compared to a 2.5mm cable.
If anyone wants a table of current carrying capacities i can dig it up...
