Wiring a 10.5 KW shower run

[Engineer54]

at 10.5 kw, pull switches are notorious for burning out, and a pig to connect 10mm. i would be inclined to fit a wall switch outside the room.easier to fit, and outside all zones.

As far as i can make out from the various posts i've read on this matter... Many Electricians only use ''Crabtree'' 50A pull switches on these higher rated Shower units that require 10mm T&E. According to them, 10mm cable is accommodated pretty easily... Plus they like the neon indicator being automatically disconnected when you drop the head unit....

With a nice deep box for the cable !!!!

So I take it you would follow suit ?

I would certainly be checking them out, if i was in the position of installing such a circuit, ...So yes of course!!!!

The 50A Crabtree pull switches are far superior to anything else I've fitted. They have 2 openings at the top which the ends of the cable push through, then you have plenty of space to terminate without worrying about tight bending radius or having to try and put the cover on with cables in the way.

Overall a well designed bit of kit.
