Hi All,
We have just had an electrical test done and have been told that our 8.5kW shower is too powerful for the 6mm cable. We have been told it should be replaced with a 7.5kW maximum.
I was under the impression and stand to be corrected that an 8.5kw would be fine for that cable as long as the run didn't exceed 18m. It doesn't. The run is about 6m maximum.
Can anyone advise please? The shower was actually installed by an electrician who stated that it was fine.
Cheers.
Paul
