Discuss 9.5Kw Electric Shower in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

I had a bloke get me to fit a coin meter to his snooker table lights so that his son and mates would pay to play !! His boy was in there a few weeks later practising his shots whilst wearing a head torch !:smile:
 
MDJ,

I agree with you, but the 8.5Kw is £60 more expensive and the customer will not pay the extra. I have the choice of either fitting the 9.5kw (only if it is safe to do so) or not do the job. According to BS7671 it is safe but it is against my normal rule of thumb so I just wanted confirmation from others before I went ahead.

It has had a 9kw installed for several years without a problem, personally I really don't understand why a 10mm cable was installed from the start but too late for that now.


Mark.
