So we are redecorating our rental flat in preparation for a new tenant and “she who must be obeyed” has bought an electric shower to replace the old one that just had connections to the hot and cold feeds.
The manufactures destructions say that “in most cases it can be wired with 1.5mm” but I think this is a tad small so I was going to use min 6mm cable and leave a note taped to the cu stating the cable size used. I cant see anywhere in the instructions to say the power rating.
Before anyone says that I should not be doing this (as I am not qualified) I intend to get all the electrics tested by a qualified electrician (mate) as part of the landlords checks etc that have to be done.
In your professional opinion, is using 6mm2 cable ok or should I be using 10mm? I am going to call the manufactures later to get their view but I would rather have the views of the workers who do it.
Thanks for the advice
