did him and his wife discover copper wire fighting over a penny?Same bloke was on Economy 7 and he and his missus would fill 2 flasks very early each morning using the cheap rate then use the flasks all day for tea making, true I swear !
main reason is that the on/off switch on the shower can only be reached when you are standing in the shower. then you get a deluge of freezing cold water on your head till the pathetic over rated kettle element in the shower manages to warm the water up.
No, you have 9.5kw shower which is 41.3A total loadSorry, got myself confused trying to give as much information.
My question is:
Do the values seem ok for the cable size?
BOLLOX. 9.5kW = 39.6A . 6mm clipped direct on a 40A or 45A MCB.No, you have 9.5kw shower which is 41.3A total load
you need minumum 10mm twin and earth cable
5oA pull cord shower switch
45A MCB
rather safe than sorry
in actuality, we don't have an indoor shower. ours is a hosepipe and a colander in the back yard.Northern softy, thought you lot were made of sterner stuff
